* '''Sending AWOL Reminder PM's:'''
** After creating AWOL post
** Select Create AWOL reminder PM and click the Send PM button. This will send a PM to each of the individuals on the list reminding them to post or reply back to you.

** The Sunday following, the AWOL post, you will discharge AWOL members who are still AWOL and/or who have not replied to your PM to them as to their status.  
*** Remember that discharging someone AWOL has the negative impact of them losing 2 grades upon re-enlistment, so if someone replies to you requesting a discharge, discharge them separately with an Honorable Discharge.
** Go to the [https://7cav.us/awoltracker/ AWOL Tracker].
** Tick the box to the right of every name on your list if it is still on the AWOL Tracker.  
*** If it isn't it's because they have made a post.
** Go to the bottom of the list and ensure 1st Battalion is chosen in the dropdown list.
** Tick the radio button that says Create AWOL discharge post
** Click the Send PM button.  
** This will create a discharge post in the [https://7cav.us/forums/discharged-from-the-regiment.38/ Discharged from the Regiment] forum.
