If you could streamline one administrative process what would it be?

Would it be awards, promotions, separations, and the list goes on......

Awards and recognition. The process needs to be more streamlined, and of course it depends on the command. I do not agree with award quotas, or limiting awards by rank. If a E4 deserves a Commendation Medal then they should get a Commendation Medal.

Chapters! Took me a full year to get a Soldier chaptered out. AND - I had a binder of documentation to support the end result...chapter. Ridiculous.

For me it would be online training. I get BLARING WARNINGS every quarter about annual training. I keep my online training certificates ready for a quick draw so that I can whip them out every time higher asks me to prove that I don't need to repeat the ANNUAL training every QUARTER.

I would remove SSN's on all administrative documents (i.e., 4187's) including EDAS, EMILPO and others. I drafted a point paper while in recruiting and found that the use of personal ID numbers, now issued to new Soldiers by IACS/DEERS offices (IMCOM) was of great help, but as a former 42A, I know all too well how our SSN's can be used on virtually everything we do and what other agencies use this for their purposes (housing, finance, security offices, CCF).
