the last four digits of their SSNs. Ensure that the headcounter enters the last four
digits of the soldiers' SSNs. He enters these digits in the meal card number
column (DA Form 3032) as he take them from the soldiers' ID cards (DD Forms

Also make sure that the FOS completes the heading (unless he is exempt from
doing so) as follows:
1. Meal. Enter an "X" in the appropriate box.
2. Service Component. Enter "USA," "ARNG," or "USAR" as appropriate.
3. Diner Category. Enter the appropriate diner category. Additionally, enter
either "BCT" or "AIT" on the "Other" line. The intent of this procedure is to
require training soldiers to sign one set of forms and other personnel who
require support to sign a different set of forms.
