I made a better PERNET script. ?

For my fellow 79V ARCCs and ALs,
If you have used PERNET, you know that it can be confusing and difficult to navigate.

After several years of working with PERNET, I made a script to automate it for ARCC purposes.

The script will automatically export RDMS Q00 screens, N20 screens, ASVAB scores, assignment orders, and retirement points (if you have RPAS). Unlike other scripts out there, this one is menu driven and will do all the navigation for you.

The script, instructions, and a PERNET session file are available on AKO at https://www.us.army.mil/suite/folder/43997734.

*****EDIT*****
Rally point converts the link from 'H T T P S' to 'H T T P' which may not be recognized by AKO. If you run into difficulty, add the 'S'.

You can also navigate to it from AKO under Files > Organizations > Army > Army Components > Army Reserve > DRCs > Army Reserve Careers Division (ARCD) > 9th BN, ARCD > PERNET
*****/EDIT*****

I will post updates periodically and annotate changes in the release notes in the same folder.

*****UPDATE 20160605
Some users have complained of the script not exporting correctly. This is due to computer permissions changing. I have a solution, but it will take time to implement.

As an interim measure, check for your files under C:\temp and move them to avoid overwriting.

I have new version of the script on AKO, but it is currently incomplete and buggy.

*****UPDATE 20160617
New script and instructions available on AKO. It works a bit differently than before, but that can't be helped.

*****UPDATE 20170405
New function (menu item 14) added to export definitions for various fields (e.g. MPATYP, MPARSN, CURORG, SFPARS, etc).
