3.  ISSUE 150801: AVAIL RATE.  
A.  CLARIFICATION TO CURRENT POLICY OF AVAIL RATE IS PROVIDED 
BELOW: 
AVAIL RATE IS THE CURRENT RATE IF NO CHANGES APPLY.  WHEN A 
RATE CHANGE DOES APPLY; AVAIL RATE IS THE APPROVED DIRECT 
CONVERSION RATE WITHOUT TRAINING REQUIREMENT; NON-RATED/
UNDESIGNATED TO RATED/DESIGNATED; AND/OR SELECTEE (FROCKED); 
AND/OR ADVANCEMENT INCREMENT RATE, AS APPLICABLE.  WHEN FORMAL 
TRAINING IS REQUIRED AVAIL RATE IS THE APPROVED/GUARANTEED 
APPLICABLE TRAINING PATH RATE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ALREADY 
IN THE TRAINING PATH PIPELINE.  THIS INCLUDES APPROVED 
CONVERSIONS THAT REQUIRE FORMAL TRAINING, NAVET/OSVET AND 
SERVICE COMPONENT CHANGES WITH SCHOOL GUARANTEES; AND FOR 
"A" SCHOOL GRADUATES, AND NON-GRADUATES.
B. THIS CLARIFIED GUIDANCE WILL BE REFLECTED IN REVISED 
MILPERSMAN 1306-1700 WHEN PUBLISHED.  
4.  ISSUE 150802: NSIPS AVAIL PANEL RANK/RATING FIELD.  
A.  THE RATE/RANK FIELD CAN BE FOUND IN NSIPS AVAIL PANEL 
UNDER THE AVAIL CLASS CODE. IT IS A FILLABLE FIELD BUT COULD 
ALREADY HAVE A RATE FILLED IN THAT IS NOT ALWAYS CORRECT.  
THOUGH NAMED RATE/RANK IT IS ACTUALLY CONSIDERED AS THE AVAIL 
RATE AND IS NOT ALWAYS THE SAME AS THE READ ONLY RATE AT THE 
TOP OF THE AVAIL PANEL AS REFLECTED FROM ENLISTED MASTER RECORD. 
WHEN THIS FIELD IS NOT FILLED WITH CORRECT AVAIL RATE PRIOR TO 
SAVING/SUBMITTING THE AVAIL IT USUALLY DEFAULTS TO AN ERRONEOUS 
AVAIL RATE CAUSING AVAIL TO BE RECEIVED IN AN ERRONEOUS DESK 
CODE AND BLOCKING ORDER WRITING BECAUSE THE AVAIL RATE IS 
INVALID, RESULTING IN FURTHER DELAYS SINCE THE AVAIL CANNOT 
BE USED AND HAS TO BE REPLACED.  
B.  THOSE SUBMITTING AVAILS ARE ADVISED TO ENSURE THIS FIELD 
REFLECTS THE CORRECT APPLICABLE AVAIL RATE PRIOR TO 
SAVING/SUBMITTING AVAIL TO PREVENT SUCH AVAIL DISPARITIES.
