A transfer updates what?

• A. A Member's Period Summary
• B. The Retirement Points Record
• C. The Training Calendar
• D. The Highest Grade Held

Answer: (A)

A transfer updates the member’s Period Summary because this record tracks the sequence of service periods and assignments. When a transfer happens, the system adjusts the timeline to show the new assignment as a distinct period with its start date (and closes out the previous period). This keeps the member’s service history accurate for things like eligibility and timing of benefits.

Other records aren’t directly changed by a transfer: the Retirement Points Record reflects points earned over time, not the act of moving between units; the Training Calendar shows scheduled training events; and the Highest Grade Held changes only with promotions or official grade changes, not with transfers between assignments.
