How can I add my first duty station in my ERB the date of my first duty station is before my current basd on my ERB but not before my pebd. I'm a prior service and came back in back in 2017. Before back in 2014 my S1 was able to add my first duty station but now my current S1 says they can't do it. Is it possible or has emilpo change from back in 2014?

If the date is before your adjusted BASD, you won't be able to add it on your SRB, tge system will recognize it as an error since its before the date of your entry to active duty.
Is there a specific reason why you need it on your SRB?

It’s a common misconception. Since most AD S1 deal with people with no break in service, they assume it’s BASD driven. If that were true, no reservists would be able to update their ERB.

The issue is that nothing can be added prior to your DIEMS - Date Initially Entered Military Service. That’s the date on your very first DD4/1. It requires your BDE S1 HR Tech, the S1 Warrant officer, to conduct an EPASR transaction or an eMilpo trouble ticket. It takes about 72 hours. You only need the original DD4/1 that put you in the Delayed Entry Program as your source document.

I am having that same issue SSG, right now they would need you to go to your Soldier Support Center, and fill out a DD Form 1506, this is a statement of service that we can fill out that supports our prior service and fixes our BASD and DIEM. My issue makes it hard for me to re-enlist if the time comes, so hopefully, S-1 can update it, I hope you are able to fix your issues SSG.

I cant tell you how it was done but i can tell you that i was in the Marine Reserves from 1982-1988 then after a 15 year break in service joined the National Guard. I sent away to St Louis for my records and submited the certified copies of my record of service documents that were all filled in with hand written notations. I received full credit for those 6 years as well as the retirement points.
I now at 23.5 years service and the scanned copies of those documents are still in my iPERMS.

Curious question. Nothing against this poster nor others, but I see so many questions about S-1 does or does not do this or that. A lot look like things the First Sergeant and Company Clerk could handle with the Field 201 File. Why go to the S-1? Likely a Captain, in the branch of the unit, getting his ticket punched.

Yes you can do it, and also any awards received before your BASD. You need to provide the S1 proof, meaning the orders stating your stay at that duty station.
