That acronym is not on my SRB....What the heck is a YMAV?

EDIT: Never mind, I found it.

YMAV....What is it?
Year Month Available
YMAV is now added to the Assignment Satisfaction Key (ASK) website.
Under the Preferences/Volunteer tab on ASK, Soldiers will be able to view their YMAV. They should reach out to their Assignment Managers at HRC if they have any questions or concerns reference their YMAV.
HRC derives a Soldier's YMAV based on arrival to unit, tour length, or tour type, and a number of other considerations. However, if a Soldier has a disqualifying indicator in their record, such as an adverse action, pending action, or other medical, legal, or administrative reason, then the YMAV is set to the ETS date until the action is resolved.
YMAV is already available in EDAS (PS screen) and we are currently working to make it available in WebEDAS as well.
First Termers will not be assigned a YMAV. Also NCOS that are approaching their Mandatory Retirement Date.
Keep in mind a YMAV could also change based on Army requirements.
in the near future YMAVs will be used in concert with the ASKEM in the Enlisted Manning Cycle.
What is your YMAV? Go look at your ASK!
What are your questions?

YMAVs are an interesting beast. It will reset the date of last PCS because it is a no cost- low cost PCS and must be directed by HRC. That could and should reset the YMAV because it's a PCS, but that doesn't mean it will. The branch manager can manually update the YMAV if it doesn't
