Can a soldier who has recently PCSed from AIT to his or her first unit file for JD with someone who is about to graduate from AIT? AR 614-200 stated that a soldier who's PCSed to his or her first unit must wait 24 months prior to filing for JD, while a soldiers who are graduating AIT will be enrolled.

e. A reassignment in
CONUS, under the MACP, to establish a JD may be granted as an exception.
Reassignment is contingent on the following:

(1) A valid requisition exists in the Soldier's
grade and MOS at the gaining installation, and assignments are near enough to
each other to establish a JD.

(2) Losing installation does not have a critical
shortage in the Soldier's grade and MOS.

(3) Soldiers have served a minimum of 24 months
(12 months when volunteering to join spouse in an OCONUS area) TOS when
departing the losing duty station for a CONUS to CONUS reassignment. Soldiers
may submit a voluntary request for OCONUS after 6 months TOS if military spouse
is located OCONUS for movement after completion of 12-month TOS requirement. If
both Soldiers are assigned to CONUS locations, a request for CONUS reassignment
may be submitted after 14 months (for movement upon completion of 24-months TOS
requirement) for PCS at Government expense.

(4) Soldiers must have 24 months time-in-service
remaining after arrival at gaining installation (must be able to serve
prescribed tour to join spouse overseas). If needed, this service may be
acquired through extension or reenlistment prior to departing the losing duty
station.

That was copied and pasted from the AR Sir, it doesn't seem as though there should be a problem with them filing.

2LT Dulamal,<br><br>Are you asking if the PCSed Soldier can PCS again and join the "about to graduate from AIT" Soldier somewhere OR are you asking if the "about to graduate from AIT" can join the already PCSed Soldier at his/her current permanent duty station?<br><br>AR 612-201 (Initial Entry/Prior Service Trainee Support), para 6-4 contains additional guidance on JD enrollment and assignment for AIT Soldiers.
