Which of the following Action Reasons are used for the Initial Qualifications and Skills PAR?

• A. Change of ASI/SQI/PDSI and Change of MOS
• B. Change of MOS
• C. Change of PDSI
• D. Addition of ASI

Answer: (A)

When documenting an Initial Qualifications and Skills PAR, you need to capture changes that reflect both a new or changed job and the specialized identifiers that describe that qualification. These identifiers—ASI, SQI, and PDSI—signal additional training or position requirements tied to the MOS. The best choice is the one that includes both a change of ASI/SQI/PDSI and a change of MOS because initial qualifications often involve updating the MOS and, at the same time, adjusting the skill indicators to reflect the new capabilities. Recording only a MOS change would miss the updated or added ASI/SQI/PDSI, while recording only a PDSI or only an ASI addition would fail to show the MOS change that accompanies the new qualifications.
