The Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General said the response was “insufficient and delayed,” and that the crisis line responder “failed to take action” to prevent the death.

These select billets will be clearly labeled as authorized for the A2WP Program with the "hot jobs" tag.

Their TIR date will be established in line with reference (b). a.

Sailors must abide by the satisfactory participation policy contained in references (d) and (e) and may be subject to administrative action per references (c) and (f) if they fail to meet this criteria. c. Sailors who are disqualified for their IDT assignment prior to the first drill weekend in their new unit will no longer be eligible for advancement under this program. d.

A2WP Phase II quotas. The number of quotas available depends on the warfighting readiness of operational units and the community health of corresponding SELRES ratings.
