Centralization of separation actions to AFPC complete

  • Published
Under the Personnel Services Delivery Transformation initiative, beginning May 30, the Air Force Personnel Center here becomes the service center for all separation actions to include providing Airmen with their separation orders and DD Form 214s.

Using a new automated notification method, Airmen approaching their normal expiration term of service or mandatory date of separation will receive an e-mail reminding them to make a separation or reenlistment decision using the virtual Military Personnel Flight.

An Airman's ETS occurs when he or she completes an enlistment contract or term of active service required by active duty orders. Airmen who have completed their obligated term of service and are approaching their ETS or E-4 High Year tenure will receive an e-mail notification at 180 days prior to their DOS and every 30 days thereafter.

"In line with our goal of centralizing personnel actions, we've automated functions currently being accomplished at the MPE and AFPC to provide true 24/7 customer service to our Airmen," said Col. Bill Foote, AFPC's Director of Personnel Services.

Airmen can access vMPF on the AFPC secure website within six months of DOS and select "Initiate my DOS Separation." Once they receive confirmation, they complete a vMPF initial separation briefing, pre-separation order worksheet, initiate DD Form 214 and all base out-processing items including unit and virtual out-processing checklists.

This final piece complements the voluntary separation applications previously released and completes the centralization of all separation actions to AFPC. The MPF/MPE will continue to assist Airmen with the new web-based notification process and provide commanders with training and assistance.
