Transcript 0:00 Welcome to the S-3 shop. You own training and operations for the whole state, and two modules carry most of that weight. The Activity Calendar is where every event in the Corps lives, and Annual Training tracks every member's required certificates. We will also visit the Training Schedule, the battalion tool your commandants plan their weeks with. 0:23 There is one calendar for the entire Corps, and every echelon runs its own events on it. A battalion posts its drill night, a brigade posts its drill competition, and Corps posts the statewide schools. Members only ever see their own reporting chain, so nobody scrolls past forty other battalions to find their unit. You are looking at it the way a battalion commandant does. Here is one of our demo events, opened to its event page. 0:54 The event page is where everything starts. Adults RSVP here, and that single step files their movement request for travel orders with State S-1. Cadets sign up at their own unit's events, and for a higher echelon's event their unit S-3 submits the roster instead. Capacity, ribbons, and the pay flag all live on the event itself. 1:19 Staff get a Manage events tab for their echelon. Creating an event is one form: a name, one of six categories, the dates, and a real street address so the state can map activity by district. You can attach the ribbons the event awards, cap capacity, authorize pay, or make it invitation only. Drafts imported from the Yearly Training Calendar stay hidden from members until you publish them. 1:46 Remember the contract printed at the top of this tab. Register, attend, activity. Marking a cadet present is the only action that creates an activity in the system. Attendance flows to the cadet's record and the battalion's SAR on its own, and completing an event awards the attached ribbons to every cadet marked present. Adults left unchecked come off the PERSTAT, and their orders are revoked automatically. 2:14 The Training Schedule is a different job from the calendar. The calendar owns events. This page owns the unit's week: what is being taught, uniform days, drill days, and PT. Commandants work it at battalion level. As State S-3 you open the statewide admin view, which is what you see here. Month, Week, and the 30, 60, and 90 day views cover planning at every distance. 2:44 The monthly checklist is the First Year Commandant Playbook made live. Each month's tasks are already loaded, commandants check them off, and they can add rows of their own. Below it, Curriculum and Training pacing captures each week's classes, uniform day, and PT day. As State S-3 you set the standard here, so know what your units are working from. 3:09 Annual Training is your statewide certificate matrix. One row per member, one column per required certificate: POSH, defensive driving, and PII data handling. The stat tiles up top give you the state of the state at a glance. We have filtered the list to our demo unit, and the search box and filter chips work the same way for any name, email, or status you are chasing. 3:36 Read the colors before anything else. Green means valid, and the date shown is the expiration. Amber means valid but expiring within ninety days, so start nudging now. Red means a problem: missing, rejected, or lapsed, and a member without a valid POSH is locked out of the whole portal. Click any cell to upload a certificate, fix its valid date, or invalidate it. 4:03 When a member uploads a certificate and the automatic scan is not confident, it lands in the Certificate Review tab. Each item shows the document beside what the scanner extracted. You confirm or correct the valid date and approve, or reject it with a reason the member will see. Approving marks the certificate valid everywhere at once, including this matrix. 4:28 One last thing: the S-3 year has a rhythm. Every August the school year resets, units get nudged to confirm their school profiles, and the certificate matrix turns red as annual training comes due again. Work the calendar, keep the matrix green, and check the training schedules your battalions publish. That is the S-3 experience in one loop.
