What must occur before a Change MOS PAR is submitted successfully?

  1. An eligibility check

  2. Approval from the manager

  3. Review by HR

  4. A confirmation email

The correct answer is: An eligibility check

For a Change MOS PAR (Personnel Action Request) to be submitted successfully, an eligibility check must be performed first. This step is crucial because it ensures that the individual qualifies for the changes being requested in their military occupational specialty (MOS). The eligibility check verifies that the service member meets the necessary criteria, including qualifications, training, and any other regulatory requirements associated with the new MOS. Without completing this eligibility check, there’s a risk that the request could be submitted for review without ensuring that the service member is actually eligible for the change. This could lead to delays or denials in processing the PAR, which underscores the importance of this initial verification step. The other options, while relevant in the overall process, are not prerequisites for the submission of the Change MOS PAR. Approval from the manager, review by HR, and a confirmation email might be necessary later in the workflow, but these actions cannot be completed until it is confirmed that the service member is eligible to proceed with the change. Thus, the eligibility check is the essential first step necessary for a successful submission.
