Coming from a medics point of view i think doing all of srp over again during a SM birth month is a great method of keeping everyones paperwork, medical status, immunizations, dental etc up to date. For one its alleviates the stress and overwhelming overload on so many different people and departments if every SM would step up and take on this individual tasking, granted that us as medics and 1sgt are tracking everyones status weekly and stay ontop of our own to ensure it gets done. We have a At my current unit we just started this process and it seems to be working pretty well. They have provided us with a printout with all the different s-shops, medical, dental, admin, etc. on one sheet with operating hours and phone numbers that needs to be visited once they have taken care of that specific department it gets signed off on. Once all gets complete it gets turned back in to the training room. And through medpros we can see if its not getting done and confront that individual on whats the problem. Sorry for sich a drawn out post

Whom ever is in your orderly room, that has access to MEDPROS, can easily pull that up for you daily, weekly, or monthly (which ever you choose). They can creat a excel spread sheet to track what solders need when. That is what I use to do for my company.

I understand and I have access to MEDPROs , However I am don't want to stop the system every November because 80% of my company needs to complete a PHA. This is a result of the deployment cycle. Which the Army is getting away from just trying to bring back an old way to keep on top of all the admin and medical requirements.

Ooooo I see what you are saying..... Because of the deployment cycle it has reset when people need to get there stuff done. You can have some opt to do it early...... To off set some.....maybe? I do fully understand what you are saying now though. You might be able to work out something with the tmc or medical clinic you go through to see about off setting some of the people cuz you are not able to run operations or do training if soooooooo many people need to get this done all in one month.

A birth month audit was a tool to ensure a Soldier was continually up to date. It has since been replaced (somewhat sucessfully) by the individual SRP. During the course of the last decade or so, while all were continually deploying, it fell out of use as a managemet tool. Proper scheduling of Soldiers for the BMAs would ensure continual updating of all necessary documents to ensure completeness od data prior to the Soviets attacking.

On that soldier birth month , ie my is March, I would complete my PHA, HIV, Shots, SGLI, DD93, etc so it all stays updated. Instead of 80% percent of my company will need a PHA at the same time because of when we redeployed.

AHH, tracking!
That's a tough one unless you have the medical providers willing to give shots and do health assessments prior to them actually being due. But I do agree that it is an excellent idea.
I made sure I had Medpros access as well as the UCV access for dental when I was a 1SG. I didn't do the birth month check as you describe, but I just kept up with them that way.

1SG,
The new update to iPerms should help to alleviate most of this problem. But really, tracking is the only sure fire way to ensure 100%. I find myself catching hell trying to stay on top of a whole Battery of SMs, but pulling reports from iPerms and DPRO among others has helped me catch up.

I only remember doing annual dental exam during birth month. If there were any other checks done I don't recall them.
