AIRN

IMPORTANT - check your AIRN status?

Remember the "I" in AIRN stands for individual and all soldiers, NCO's and Officers should ensure they do not "fall out" of AIRN compliance. To be compliant you must pass the BFA, Weapon test, be dentally fit and have a current medical assessment. Your units can give you details of the requirements or contact 13 CSSB orderly room. If you are in the HRR or RRF not being compliant WILL effect your bonus payments.

Your unit can arrange a BFA on most Tuesday Training nights, the PTI at the gym can design a training program to help if you have a problem with any part of the assessment.

Weapons testing can be arranged at the WTSS most Tuesday nights.

For dental or medical checks, work through your chain of command for appointments.

Remember plan ahead requalify while you are still AIRN compliant!!
