 PBEM created the ATV status as a solution to two problems:
-# '''It offers NET volunteers an alternative to separating from the NET program entirely.''' If a NET volunteer is unable to meet their [[Minimum Service Contribution (MSC)|Minimum Service Contribution]] but would like to remain a part of their local team, they can do so as an ATV. ATV status is an alternative to making a NET volunteer "Inactive" and completely discharging them from the program.
+# '''It offers retiring NET volunteers an alternative to separating from the NET program completely.''' If a NET volunteer is unable to meet their [[Minimum Service Contribution (MSC)|Minimum Service Contribution]] but would like to remain a part of their local team, they can do so as an ATV. ATV status is an alternative to making a NET volunteer "Inactive" and completely discharging them from the program.
 # '''It encourages''' '''non-NET neighbors to volunteer with their local NET team by giving them a status in the program.''' A neighbor may be interested in disaster response activities with their community and want to plan ahead, but do not have the time and/or inclination to complete Basic NET training. Becoming an ATV gives them a team role to fill by declaring a [[Volunteer Support Functions Introduction and Directory|VSF]] (e.g. radio operator) and makes them more ready to participate with a NET team than a spontaneous volunteer (SUV) would be.
