a.  TRAINEE SIGNATURE
AUTHORITY:  5 U.S.C. Sections 4101 - 4118; and E.O. 9397.
PRINCIPAL PURPOSE(S):  To request training by employees or military personnel and to document the authorization for expenses
of such training, agreements for continuation in service following training, certificates of training, and any reimbursement
obligations contracted by personnel or employees as a result of receiving training. 
ROUTINE USE(S):  Civilian training information is provided to Office of Personnel Management (OPM) for data reporting purposes
stipulated in 5 U.S.C. 4115.
DISCLOSURE:  Voluntary; however, failure to furnish the requested information may result in your ineligibility for participating in
this training.
f.  Period of obligated service:
39.  I am not receiving any contributions, awards, or payments in connection with this training, from any other
government agency or non-government organization and shall not accept such without first obtaining approval from
the authorizing training official.  I agree that should I fail  to complete the requested training successfully, due to
circumstances within my control, I will reimburse the agency for all training costs (excluding salary) associated
with my attendance.
(1) From (Enter date (YYYYMMDD))  
(2) To (Enter date (YYYYMMDD))  
38. AGREEMENT TO CONTINUE IN SERVICE
      This agreement applies to all non-government training that exceeds 80 hours (or such other designated period,
80 hours or less, as prescribed by the agency) and for which the Government approves payment of training costs
prior to the commencement of such training.  Nothing contained in this section shall be  construed as limiting the
authority of an agency to waive, in whole or in part, an obligation of an employee to pay expenses incurred by the
Government in connection with the training.
PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT
SECTION E - TRAINEE AGREEMENT/CERTIFICATION
a.  I AGREE that upon completion of the Government sponsored training described in this request, I will serve in the
 Department of Defense (DoD) three times the length of the training period; except that if I receive no salary for the
time spent in training the period of obligated service will be either one month or a period equal to the amount of
time spent in training, whichever is greater.  (The length of part-time training is the number of hours spent in class
or with the instructor.   The length of full-time training is eight hours for each day of training, up to a maximum of
40 hours a week.)
b.  If I voluntarily leave the DoD and the Federal service before completing the period of service agreed to in item a
above, I AGREE to reimburse the DoD for the tuition and related fees, travel, and other special expenses
(EXCLUDING SALARY) paid in connection with my training.  However, the amount of the reimbursement will be
reduced on a pro rata basis for the percentage of completion of the obligated service.  (For example, if the cost of
training is $900 and I complete two-thirds of the obligated service, I will reimburse the DoD $300 instead of the
original $900.) 
c.  If I voluntarily leave the DoD to enter the service of another Federal agency or other organization in any branch
of the Government before completing the period of service agreed to in item a above, I will give my servicing
Civilian Personnel Office or Training Office advance notice during which time, in accordance with Federal
regulations, a determination concerning reimbursement or transfer of the remaining service obligation to the gaining
agency will be made.
d.  I understand that any amounts which may be due the employing agency as a result of any failure on my part to
meet the terms of this agreement may be withheld from any monies owed me by the Government, or may be
recovered by such other methods as are approved by law.
e.  I acknowledge that this agreement does not in any way commit the Government to continue my employment.

DD FORM 1556, Copy 8 (BACK), AUG 2002
AUTHORITY:  5 U.S.C. Sections 4101 - 4118; and E.O. 9397.
PRINCIPAL PURPOSE(S):  To request training by employees or military personnel and to document the authorization for expenses
of such training, agreements for continuation in service following training, certificates of training, and any reimbursement
obligations contracted by personnel or employees as a result of receiving training. 
ROUTINE USE(S):  Civilian training information is provided to Office of Personnel Management (OPM) for data reporting purposes
stipulated in 5 U.S.C. 4115.
DISCLOSURE:  Voluntary; however, failure to furnish the requested information may result in your ineligibility for participating in
this training.
f.  Period of obligated service:
39.  I am not receiving any contributions, awards, or payments in connection with this training, from any other
government agency or non-government organization and shall not accept such without first obtaining approval from
the authorizing training official.  I agree that should I fail  to complete the requested training successfully, due to
circumstances within my control, I will reimburse the agency for all training costs (excluding salary) associated
with my attendance.
38. AGREEMENT TO CONTINUE IN SERVICE
      This agreement applies to all non-government training that exceeds 80 hours (or such other designated period,
80 hours or less, as prescribed by the agency) and for which the Government approves payment of training costs
prior to the commencement of such training.  Nothing contained in this section shall be  construed as limiting the
authority of an agency to waive, in whole or in part, an obligation of an employee to pay expenses incurred by the
Government in connection with the training.
PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT
SECTION E - TRAINEE AGREEMENT/CERTIFICATION
a.  I AGREE that upon completion of the Government sponsored training described in this request, I will serve in the
 Department of Defense (DoD) three times the length of the training period; except that if I receive no salary for the
time spent in training the period of obligated service will be either one month or a period equal to the amount of
time spent in training, whichever is greater.  (The length of part-time training is the number of hours spent in class
or with the instructor.   The length of full-time training is eight hours for each day of training, up to a maximum of
40 hours a week.)
b.  If I voluntarily leave the DoD and the Federal service before completing the period of service agreed to in item a
above, I AGREE to reimburse the DoD for the tuition and related fees, travel, and other special expenses
(EXCLUDING SALARY) paid in connection with my training.  However, the amount of the reimbursement will be
reduced on a pro rata basis for the percentage of completion of the obligated service.  (For example, if the cost of
training is $900 and I complete two-thirds of the obligated service, I will reimburse the DoD $300 instead of the
original $900.) 
c.  If I voluntarily leave the DoD to enter the service of another Federal agency or other organization in any branch
of the Government before completing the period of service agreed to in item a above, I will give my servicing
Civilian Personnel Office or Training Office advance notice during which time, in accordance with Federal
regulations, a determination concerning reimbursement or transfer of the remaining service obligation to the gaining
agency will be made.
d.  I understand that any amounts which may be due the employing agency as a result of any failure on my part to
meet the terms of this agreement may be withheld from any monies owed me by the Government, or may be
recovered by such other methods as are approved by law.
e.  I acknowledge that this agreement does not in any way commit the Government to continue my employment.
