AF officials successfully test electronic ADSC notifications Published Nov. 28, 2011 By Tech. Sgt. Steve Grever Air Force Personnel, Services and Manpower Public Affairs RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- Air Force Personnel Center officials successfully tested this month a new automated response system notifying Airmen of personnel actions requiring them to sign an Active Duty Service Commitment acknowledgement statement. The initial test of the ADSC automated notification system included 882 Airmen who were selected for intermediate and senior developmental education opportunities. As of Nov. 21, AFPC received 75.2 percent of the signed Air Force Form 63s (ADSC Acknowledgement Statement) back from Airmen accepting ADSCs for various professional military education assignments. "We used modern technology to e-mail ADSC notifications directly to the members to have them sign instead of using additional manpower and resources to perform the same task," said Lt. Col. Jenise Carroll, AFPC's knowledge operations chief. "We are using technology to our benefit and making the ADSC process faster, smarter and more efficient," Carroll said. "This initial test is showing a huge return on investment." Some additional personnel actions requiring a signed AF Form 63 include certain permanent change of station moves and advanced flying training. Automating the process ensures members clearly understand their obligation to serve a specific period of time as a result of the Air Force investment. Another benefit of the improved process is preventing delays in the member receiving orders and any allowances. "The Air Force has had issues getting Active Duty Service Commitment forms signed by individuals for years," said Terry Reed, AFPC's service verification section chief. "AFPC is moving closer to completely automating the process and removing the force support squadrons and military personnel sections. The future state is for the ADSC notification to go directly from AFPC to Airmen." This initial test is part of a series of business process reviews being conducted at AFPC to streamline Air Force personnel programs and services. Additional programs may be considered for automated solutions once BPRs are completed by AFPC officials.
