AMEDD Constructive Credit Calculator expands AR-PERSCOM website

Army Reserve Magazine, Summer, 2002

ST. LOUIS--A new tool is now available to assist Army Medical Department (AMEDD) officers receiving Constructive Service Credit. Accessible from the Army Reserve Personnel Command's 2xCitizen web site, the online, self-service Constructive Credit Calculator enables AMEDD officers receiving this credit to easily determine their adjusted date of rank and new projected promotion eligibility date.

Constructive Service Credit for AMEDD officers is guided by Army Regulation 135-101 which bases credit upon qualifying degrees, completed internships, graduate professional education, other advanced degrees, professional experience in the area of appointment and prior active commissioned service time.

Previously, AMEDD officers who wished to calculate the effects of Constructive Credit on their date of rank and promotion eligibility date were required to download and complete a manual worksheet. With the new calculator, an AMEDD officer simply enters basic information from their appointment letter. The application then performs all calculations to determine the predicted date on which the AMEDD officer will be eligible for promotion to their next rank.

The Constructive Credit Calculator may be accessed from the 2xCitizen Career Guidance area. The 2xCitizen site can be found at www.2xcitizen.usar.army.mil.
