g. Soldiers in receipt of AIs (assignment instruction), or in a deployed status, are not eligible.
h. If a married Army couple currently occupying a common household is separated because one Soldier is granted an exchange assignment, the other Soldier may not apply for reassignment to the same installation to reestablish a joint residence.
