It’s the sequel that human resources professionals around the Army never wanted — the service is yet again staring down a possible delayed launch for its new HR and pay platform, according to a senior official assigned to the project.
Col. Rebecca Eggers, who leads the functional management division for the Integrated Pay and Personnel System-Army (IPPS-A), spoke with Army Times about the potential delay in a Monday morning phone interview.

We just had training on this a couple weeks ago too lol. Apparently:
"According to Eggers, the sticking point is data communication failures between IPPS-A and two key HR systems."
"Currently IPPS-A does not reliably function with the service’s recruiting information system, which allows for soldier onboarding, or with sending data to the Defense Manpower Data Center, which controls soldier medical insurance and other benefits.
As a result, the service has indefinitely delayed taking down a number of older HR systems that were scheduled to go dark or “brown-out” Saturday and again pressed pause on IPPS-A.
“The entirety of Release 3 — what we had originally planned — is definitely off the table for September,” Eggers said."
I mean I'm all for an update to the systems - at the very least can we just do leave online like every other branch. As far as I know they use LeaveWeb - why don't we just do that? Both joint units I was in when we did our leave for the Army and I had to get non-Army supervisors to sign it was "Wait, you guys still use paper?"
