Army updates online tool for selecting assignments
The Army is updating a program that allows active-duty enlisted soldiers to choose preferences for assignments and locations.
The Assignment Satisfaction Key, or ASK, program has been redesigned by the Army Human Resources Command to be an expanded career development tool, according to an Army news release .
As in the past, soldiers can use the Web-based program to choose their preferences for future assignments and locations. Enlisted soldiers in ranks E-1 through E-8 non-promotable can view requisitions via the online tool, then volunteer for them and indicate their preferences.
When a soldier logs in to ASK, he or she will only see assignments they are eligible for, based on MOS, rank, time on station, and military education. This provides troops with realistic expectations, according to the release.
Once a soldier submits the request, it shows up in the Army's Enlisted Distribution and Assignment System, and Human Resources Command assignment managers will work on the order.
The updated tool allows soldiers to select assignments with lower requisition priority, instead of only showing assignments that have the most in-demand needs to be filled.
This has increased the number of assignments soldiers can view, an HRC spokeswoman said.
"Requisitions are each assigned a priority, based on Army Manning Guidance, that dictates which assignments should be filled first," Lt. Col. Janet Herrick said.
ASK now includes additional priorities, allowing soldiers to select from a higher number of available units and locations, she said.
The updated program now has one screen that's easier to navigate, and it also offers soldiers the option of indicating his or her availability for broadening opportunities, including drill sergeant and recruiter assignments, or other special-duty interests.
Soldiers who nominate themselves for assignment through ASK will receive feedback via email.
The assignment tool is available at https://www.ask.army.mil/ask . An Army Knowledge Online account password is needed to gain access.

Any advice to get my projection assignment?
As a Quartermaster Soldier your branch will rarely answer an email. Be it from a Career Counselor, 1SG or even a CSM. Good luck. QM Corps is ruthless and you unfortunately are just a number to them.

Your RFO should have been via IPPS-A. If you've been slated but you don't know yet then go to MY.IPPS-A and hit the search icon and type ASSIGNMENT ELECTION--see if anything is there. Lastly, if you've been slated but just not informed yet by HRC then pull your ERB and see if you have an upcoming assignment on the top part under assignments. 0. 0.

Adjusting the assignment start date instead of using the in-transit grid will cause the absence request to be out of sync with the assignment, and makes the in-transit grid unusable. You must manually adjust the absence requests before arriving the Soldier. Assignment Errors and Solutions Early Report.
Any assignments after Go-Live have limited ability to be updated and are accessed via manage assignments. It is extremely important that new assignments are correct. Assignments after Go-Live, specifically adjusting dates, involve not just the Soldier you are attempting to update, but the dates associated with other Soldiers that held the position.

IPPSA will show the assignment before orders. Ask S1. They can look at projected assignments for you. All I can see are a bunch of assignments with nothing on it correct except my name and rank. Some 42A is smoking grass. I've seen it for my assignment. It's there.
Projected orders? Currently at the tail end of AIT and I was wondering where I'd find my projected assignment on IPPSA? Look on your STP and see if you have any assignment in the PROJ portion of your assignment history. Otherwise, have someone in S1 look at your assignments within the ACT page in IPPS-A to see your pending or future assignments.
Doing this, along with utilizing Customer Relationship Management (CRM) cases will take care of two very important things.
