(1N1X1) was added to the Non-Prior Service Critical Skills Promotion List, effective 1 Oct 13, making her eligible for enlistment as an A1C in accordance 
with the FY14 R&R Initiatives.  A review of the applicant’s records indicates she was eligible to enlist as an A1C.  Her DOR and effective DOR should be 
7 Aug 14.
