Are soldiers allowed to sell AG shifts?

• A. Yes with supervisor approval
• B. No
• C. Only during off-duty hours
• D. Only for family members

Answer: (B)

Trading or selling assigned duty shifts is not allowed. Shifts are scheduled to ensure proper coverage, accountability, and mission readiness, with supervision and oversight built into how the schedule is managed. Allowing someone to buy or barter shifts creates unequal access to duties, opens the door to bribery or inappropriate influence, and can leave gaps in supervision and safety. This undermines discipline and the unit’s effectiveness, which is why the correct stance is that soldiers may not sell AG shifts. Even if someone asks for supervisor approval, the arrangement would still conflict with Army standards and policy. Accepting or facilitating compensation for official duties is incompatible with Army values, so it’s not permitted.
