myFSS Orders Request

myFSS Orders Request

All IRs must use myFSS for orders requests.  IRs should not use AROWS-R to request their orders, but will still use AROWS-R to track the approval of their orders, print their approved orders, electronically certify orders of 29 or fewer days via TODC, and print certified copies of orders for travel voucher documentation.
 

IRs must submit their orders requests (AT, RPA, MPA, school, etc.) in myFSS at least 30 days prior to the start date.  When submitting within the 30-day window, include THIS 30-day late submission memo signed by your active component commander/O-6/equivalent.  Those in the rank of E-9, O-6 or above, or who serve as EPLOs are exempt from needing the memo if requesting within the 30-day window.

All AT order requests need to be submitted to myFSS no later than 31 May of that FY.  If you do submit your request for AT after 31 May, you must include this AT late scheduling memo  along with the request.

ORDERS WRITING CELL

The Orders Writing Cell (OWC) is responsible for processing of AROWS-R orders request for Individual Reservist (IR’s) on various MPA/RPA tour types. The OWC role is to review the request for accuracy, validate if the member requires any waivers, and process orders request appropriately in accordance with the JTR and any other Laws/Regulations/Policies.

Order requests will need to have a detailed explanation for the request along with the support documents to assist with processing the request. Per DAFMAN 36-2136 and the IR Guide, orders request must be submitted at least 30 days before the tour start date. If the orders request is within the 30 days window, a Late Order Submission Memo for Record (MFR) by the member’s supported commander, first Colonel (O-6) or above in their chain of command, or civilian equivalent and uploaded with the orders request in myFSS.

Additionally, all Annual tour requests must be submitted by 31 May each year. This is to ensure they are published by 30 June each year per DAFMAN 36-2136. If you are in a situation where it is after 1 June and you haven't put your AT orders request into AROWS-R yet, you'll need to complete this MFR and have it signed by your Active Duty CC or Unit Colonel (0-6), Det CC and approved by the HQ RIO/DO prior to participating on the orders.  These requests can be disapproved at any indorsement level due to submission after 31 May or funding constraints.

OWC will review the orders request and respond with an appropriate action or comments within 4 business days. (dependent on the tour start date) Member's overall readiness should be green.
