In an effort to better communicate with members of the Total Force regarding personnel-related news and updates, the Air Force Personnel Center Public Affairs office has re-introduced its mailing list sign-up option.
Registration takes only a few minutes and allows users to control the content they receive and frequency of notifications they receive from various agencies.
Due to several technical difficulties experienced during site migration, that option became temporarily unavailable to users late last year, but thanks to efforts from the Air Force Public Affairs Agency and Defense Media Activity Public Web teams, that capability was recently restored.
Users need only navigate to the AFPC website home page, scroll to the bottom right and enter their e-mail address in the appropriate bar before clicking “Submit.” A second screen will pop-up giving users the option to choose either e-mail or SMS/Test message alerts. While the text option is listed, users are encouraged to use the e-mail service as the text function is still being updated. The final step is providing a password (highly suggested) for changes to subscriber preferences.
Individuals are then able to choose from a list of topics to which they would like to subscribe. Multiple selections are possible. For news and updates pertaining to personnel matters, users should make sure to select “Air Force Personnel Center News” from that list.
Additionally, the news service offers updates for other agencies related to equal opportunity, veterans, TRICARE and education to name a few. Unsubscribing is equally easy. Simply open a system-generated e-mail and click “Delete profile” located under “Subscriber Services.”
