What is the limited use policy?

It restricts how the Army may use certain protected information a Soldier provides in connection with substance abuse treatment, such as a voluntary self-referral or information developed during treatment. That information generally may not be used against the Soldier in a court-martial or as the basis for a characterization of discharge. It does not protect a Soldier from the consequences of independently discovered misconduct.

How much can a Soldier be held financially liable for under a FLIPL?

For a loss caused by simple negligence, liability is normally limited to one month of the Soldier's basic pay at the time of the loss, or the actual value of the property, whichever is less. Willful misconduct or gross negligence can make the Soldier liable for the full value. Specific exceptions are listed in AR 735-5.

What is the tattoo policy in AR 670-1 as amended by Army directive?

Content is the hard line: tattoos that are extremist, indecent, sexist, or racist are prohibited anywhere on the body, regardless of size or location. For placement, tattoos on the head and face remain prohibited, with an exception for permanent makeup. A 2022 Army directive opened limited placements, including small tattoos on the hands, behind the ears, and on the back of the neck within size limits, and tattoos between the fingers that are not visible when the fingers are closed. Because these limits have changed by directive, verify the current directive before you counsel a Soldier.
