15:06.810 --> 15:10.000 We took the input from the field on providing an opportunity 15:10.000 --> 15:13.000 for you, as airmen to identify by priority 15:13.000 --> 15:15.156 when you're eligible, when you're available to go 15:15.156 --> 15:17.520 to PME, right? 15:17.520 --> 15:18.860 So, instead of telling you now, 15:18.860 --> 15:20.150 giving you a class day and saying 15:20.150 --> 15:21.700 hey, this is when you're gonna go, 15:21.700 --> 15:23.470 we're now providing you the opportunity 15:23.470 --> 15:24.790 to actually select a date, right? 15:24.790 --> 15:26.240 We started with the chiefs, 15:26.240 --> 15:27.390 with the chief leadership course, 15:27.390 --> 15:28.630 which you'll see up here, right? 15:28.630 --> 15:32.650 In July we did that, and we had 208 individuals receive 15:32.650 --> 15:34.458 a targeted message. 15:34.458 --> 15:37.270 So, the individuals that are eligible to go to CLC 15:37.270 --> 15:38.553 based on priority. 15:38.553 --> 15:42.969 And then, out of those 208, we had 156 chiefs come back 15:42.969 --> 15:47.000 and give a priority of what dates work for them. 15:47.000 --> 15:48.670 On the left is a quick snapshot, 15:48.670 --> 15:49.610 it's just a screenshot, right?

16:18.200 --> 16:20.598 'Cause in the past, with the PME process, 16:20.598 --> 16:22.820 you guys are telling us you can't attend, right? 16:22.820 --> 16:25.720 And so, it becomes a, you guys are gonna have to defer it, 16:25.720 --> 16:27.210 and then we have to go through a process 16:27.210 --> 16:28.900 of getting another individual in that seat, 16:28.900 --> 16:31.370 and it could potentially put that family in a hardship. 16:31.370 --> 16:34.560 But with this program, it's worked out really well 16:34.560 --> 16:37.230 so we are currently gonna roll out the senior 16:37.230 --> 16:40.484 NCO PME opportunity for senior NCO's 16:40.484 --> 16:43.930 to actually identify the date that prioritize 16:43.930 --> 16:45.630 the dates that you can attend, right?

17:19.224 --> 17:20.353 On EPME? 17:22.300 --> 17:23.210 No? 17:23.210 --> 17:24.410 Okay, next slide please. 17:25.443 --> 17:28.430 As Sergeant Fos mentioned, this is what we call 17:28.430 --> 17:30.810 the CONUS to CONUS assignment cycle. 17:30.810 --> 17:34.080 How many of you are familiar with CONUS to CONUS? 17:34.080 --> 17:35.163 Show of hands. 17:37.040 --> 17:38.930 Okay, so a couple of you in here. 17:38.930 --> 17:41.900 So, in the past, we didn't really have an assignment program 17:41.900 --> 17:45.220 outside of your AMS special duties, right? 17:45.220 --> 17:48.450 To get you from one CONUS location to another. 17:48.450 --> 17:50.481 And then, not only did we not have that, 17:50.481 --> 17:53.880 but we didn't provide you the opportunity of informing you 17:53.880 --> 17:55.303 what bases are available 17:55.303 --> 17:57.800 for you to actually PCS you to, right? 17:57.800 --> 17:59.770 So, you guys are updating this, you know, 17:59.770 --> 18:01.340 your dream sheets, if you will, 18:01.340 --> 18:04.263 with bases that really could support your AFSC, 18:04.263 --> 18:06.650 or maybe there weren't any vacancies there, right? 18:06.650 --> 18:09.100 So, CONUS to CONUS came online 18:09.100 --> 18:11.660 and it basically provides that transparent opportunity 18:11.660 --> 18:15.290 of no kidding, what bases are available for you 18:15.290 --> 18:17.800 and you're able to select those bases, right? 18:17.800 --> 18:19.490 And they're CONUS to CONUS assignment. 18:19.490 --> 18:22.550 Now, are there parameter associated with CONUS to CONUS? 18:22.550 --> 18:23.710 Yes, absolutely, right? 18:23.710 --> 18:25.150 If you'll read there on the bottom, 18:25.150 --> 18:27.430 you have to have 48 months time on station. 18:27.430 --> 18:28.680 And that is a requirement, right? 18:28.680 --> 18:30.660 We wanna make sure that, you know, 18:30.660 --> 18:33.290 you being at the CONUS to CONUS assignment, 18:33.290 --> 18:36.040 that you've definitely provided your support 18:36.040 --> 18:37.430 with that mission for four years, 18:37.430 --> 18:38.263 and then we'll give you the opportunity 18:38.263 --> 18:41.553 to kind of look and see if there's something else 18:41.553 --> 18:43.693 for you to do through the CONUS to CONUS. 18:45.370 --> 18:48.770 Any questions on CONUS to CONUS? 18:48.770 --> 18:50.470 If you take anything away from this, 18:50.470 --> 18:54.070 I would say, you know, the program really was to provide you 18:54.070 --> 18:58.205 the transparent communication on where you can go, right? 18:58.205 --> 18:59.700 State-side bases. 18:59.700 --> 19:01.900 That should be able to provide that for you. 19:02.953 --> 19:04.358 Okay? 19:04.358 --> 19:05.191 Yes, sir? 19:05.191 --> 19:06.053 - [Audience Member] So, let's say. 19:06.053 --> 19:08.303 (mumbling) 19:14.878 --> 19:16.722 - [Sergeant Crane] Okay, can you ask that question 19:16.722 --> 19:18.055 out loud for us? 19:19.920 --> 19:21.120 - [Audience Member] So, I was asking, 19:21.120 --> 19:23.327 if your contract is a four-year contract 19:23.327 --> 19:28.327 and, yeah, four-year contract, you have to extend 19:30.550 --> 19:33.400 and then whatever you get whatever assignment, 19:33.400 --> 19:34.950 do you need to start with that, or like, 19:34.950 --> 19:35.783 how does that work? 19:35.783 --> 19:36.616 Or will you get an assignment 19:36.616 --> 19:38.180 before you hit that four-year mark? 19:40.880 --> 19:42.090 - [Sergeant Crane] So, he's basically asking 19:42.090 --> 19:44.067 for first-time airmen basically if you're still eligible 19:44.067 --> 19:44.900 for CONUS to CONUS. 19:44.900 --> 19:49.273 So, yes, if you have 48 months time on station. 19:50.310 --> 19:53.820 So, once you reenlist, and you're at the 48-month point, 19:53.820 --> 19:55.680 you are eligible to play in that process. 19:55.680 --> 19:58.380 However, don't forget as first-time airman, 19:58.380 --> 20:00.953 you're more eligible for fist-time airmen BOB. 20:00.953 --> 20:02.803 So, I'd take advantage of that first. 20:05.068 --> 20:06.068 - Thank you. 20:08.040 --> 20:09.440 Any other questions on that? 20:12.425 --> 20:13.600 Okay. 20:13.600 --> 20:14.550 Next slide, please. 20:17.190 --> 20:20.320 Another great opportunity or initiative that we have in AFPC 20:20.320 --> 20:25.320 is what we call the 365 Extended Deployments, right? 20:25.420 --> 20:27.180 What is this program and what does it do 20:27.180 --> 20:28.340 for you guys in here? 20:30.163 --> 20:32.877 If you volunteer for a 365-day deployment, 20:32.877 --> 20:36.275 or you're now involved for a 365-day deployment, 20:36.275 --> 20:39.190 AFPC will insure that prior to you 20:39.190 --> 20:40.900 actually leaving for your deployment, 20:40.900 --> 20:42.060 four months prior, right? 20:42.060 --> 20:45.880 You're gonna get your orders to your next duty assignment. 20:45.880 --> 20:49.560 And the reason why we moved in this direction 20:49.560 --> 20:52.150 is really to support you and your family. 20:52.150 --> 20:54.860 Right, so if you're gone for 365 days, 20:54.860 --> 20:56.130 we're gonna give you some options. 20:56.130 --> 20:58.840 You can one, provide the orders 20:59.940 --> 21:01.860 to your family and you guys can actually move. 21:01.860 --> 21:04.150 You can move your family over to the new installation 21:04.150 --> 21:05.910 before you actually deploy. 21:05.910 --> 21:09.622 Two, your family members can actually deploy, 21:09.622 --> 21:13.610 excuse me, can move PCS while you're deployed, right? 21:13.610 --> 21:15.730 And then three, they have the option to stay 21:15.730 --> 21:17.240 and wait until you get back, right? 21:17.240 --> 21:18.387 Those three key things, right? 21:18.387 --> 21:20.785 And if you notice, it's all focused around 21:20.785 --> 21:21.880 your family, right? 21:21.880 --> 21:22.713 We wanna make sure that 21:22.713 --> 21:24.600 when you're on that 365-day deployment, 21:24.600 --> 21:26.710 you're able to focus on what you have to do there 21:26.710 --> 21:28.510 and you're not necessarily worried or concerned 21:28.510 --> 21:29.710 about your family and where they're at 21:29.710 --> 21:31.030 and getting taking care of. 21:31.030 --> 21:34.190 Now, another good thing about this is as the member, 21:34.190 --> 21:37.570 if you decide to move your family, right? 21:37.570 --> 21:39.777 Ahead of time, before you actually deploy, 21:39.777 --> 21:41.843 and you come back from your deployment, 21:41.843 --> 21:44.900 you will report to your next duty station. 21:44.900 --> 21:47.470 You don't have to go back to your old unit and out-process. 21:47.470 --> 21:49.010 Right, so that makes it a lot easier for you. 21:49.010 --> 21:51.420 In the past, you used to have to go back to your unit, 21:51.420 --> 21:53.660 out-process, then move to your next base, right? 21:53.660 --> 21:56.295 So, this does provide that flexibility to support 21:56.295 --> 21:58.538 what you and your family need. 21:58.538 --> 22:02.580 Huge win for you, the Air Force and for you families. 22:02.580 --> 22:04.173 Any questions on this? 22:06.530 --> 22:08.520 Now, one thing I do what to mention, 22:08.520 --> 22:09.440 which was a really good point 22:09.440 --> 22:11.318 that was brought up in the leadership brief 22:11.318 --> 22:14.860 is that, you know, when you look at a 365-day deployment, 22:14.860 --> 22:17.480 and you look at a short tour, 22:17.480 --> 22:19.870 why aren't they treated the same way? 22:19.870 --> 22:21.710 Right, why is in a 365-day deployment, 22:21.710 --> 22:23.800 why don't you automatically 22:23.800 --> 22:27.440 get a follow-on assignment for the short tour assignment 22:27.440 --> 22:29.760 like you would for a 365-day deployment? 22:29.760 --> 22:31.517 Sometimes, when you have your remote assignment, 22:31.517 --> 22:33.940 and you get your remote assignment, you get your follow-on, 22:33.940 --> 22:36.420 potentially that follow-on could be canceled. 22:36.420 --> 22:38.169 For your 365-day deployment, 22:38.169 --> 22:41.490 once you get those orders, we're not gonna cancel 22:41.490 --> 22:44.140 that assignment, where you just sent your family to. 22:44.140 --> 22:46.950 We work really, no kidding, really hard to make sure that 22:46.950 --> 22:47.915 none of that changes, 22:47.915 --> 22:50.950 and it's because it's a deployment still. 22:50.950 --> 22:53.650 It's not an actual assignment, right? 22:53.650 --> 22:54.483 So, I just wanna make sure 22:54.483 --> 22:56.400 that I communicate that with y'all because 22:56.400 --> 22:58.610 your leadership did bring that up as a big point, 22:58.610 --> 23:00.663 and we wanna make sure we share that with you. 23:01.560 --> 23:03.210 Any questions on this right here? 23:05.380 --> 23:07.190 Okay, next slide, please. 23:08.420 --> 23:10.753 Everyone should be familiar with Join Spouse Assignments. 23:10.753 --> 23:12.660 It's been around for a while, 23:12.660 --> 23:14.550 but we're bringing it up for discussion 23:14.550 --> 23:17.410 because we wanna make sure you see and understand that 23:17.410 --> 23:19.010 when it comes to Join Spouse, 23:19.010 --> 23:21.127 AFPC is, no kidding, doing our best 23:21.127 --> 23:23.620 to keep you guys together. 23:23.620 --> 23:26.090 We're making sure that at a minimum, right? 23:26.090 --> 23:29.920 We get you guys within 50-mile radius of each other. 23:29.920 --> 23:30.900 And that's what our goal is. 23:30.900 --> 23:32.930 Our assignment, and still Sergeant Fos, 23:32.930 --> 23:35.050 when she is working a Join Spouse assignment, 23:35.050 --> 23:37.000 she gets out from her desk, and she'll walk over 23:37.000 --> 23:40.670 to the AFS of your spouse and work and see 23:40.670 --> 23:43.076 what locations are available for both of you all. 23:43.076 --> 23:48.076 Keep in mind that the Join Spouse code that you guys update 23:49.520 --> 23:51.470 is what takes priority. 23:51.470 --> 23:52.840 What do I mean by that? 23:52.840 --> 23:55.700 You may put down bases on your 23:56.820 --> 23:58.400 dream sheet of where you wanna go, 23:58.400 --> 24:00.600 but maybe it doesn't meet the Join Spouse intent 24:00.600 --> 24:02.120 that takes the priority. 24:02.120 --> 24:03.440 So, we're gonna send you both 24:03.440 --> 24:06.410 to where the Join Spouse intent takes the priority to, 24:06.410 --> 24:07.830 which may not be on your list. 24:07.830 --> 24:10.630 But the goal is what, to keep you guys together, right? 24:10.630 --> 24:12.671 And so, that is definitely something that we do 24:12.671 --> 24:14.710 work very hard at. 24:14.710 --> 24:16.990 In the past, Join Spouse Assignment 24:18.544 --> 24:21.290 disapprovals, excuse me, has been at the branch level. 24:21.290 --> 24:22.960 The branch chief level. 24:22.960 --> 24:25.480 And because it's such a serious and, no kidding, 24:25.480 --> 24:27.146 we wanna focus on families. 24:27.146 --> 24:30.182 The disapproval on that now is General Toth, 24:30.182 --> 24:31.132 the AFPC commander. 24:33.140 --> 24:36.560 I can tell you today, we're at a 98% approval rate. 24:36.560 --> 24:39.094 So, the only time we would disapprove, right? 24:39.094 --> 24:42.200 Disapprove a Join Spouse assignment is truly 24:42.200 --> 24:44.820 when there is no way to make that happen. 24:44.820 --> 24:47.930 And General Toth, trust me when I say he really focuses in 24:48.920 --> 24:51.940 on making sure we look at all options for you, right? 24:51.940 --> 24:53.650 But the Join Spouse program does work. 24:53.650 --> 24:57.143 This really speaks on Air Force mil-to-mil, right? 24:57.989 --> 25:00.130 I didn't really touch on sister services, right? 25:00.130 --> 25:02.400 But we do, the team does work with 25:03.710 --> 25:06.730 the sister service teams if you are married to another 25:06.730 --> 25:08.790 sister service individual. 25:08.790 --> 25:10.350 We work really hard to making sure 25:10.350 --> 25:13.940 we have that communication across the two services 25:13.940 --> 25:16.460 to try and find a location for you guys. 25:16.460 --> 25:19.247 All right, so that discussion is happening as well. 25:19.247 --> 25:21.790 And those things do work out, okay?

25:56.667 --> 25:58.173 Okay, next slide, please. 25:59.450 --> 26:01.166 Some other things going on with assignments 26:01.166 --> 26:03.670 that we're working out in AFPC. 26:03.670 --> 26:07.275 The first one talks about accelerated PCS orders. 26:07.275 --> 26:11.550 So, back in December, we looked at providing an opportunity 26:11.550 --> 26:16.550 to give PCS orders out to individuals 26:17.540 --> 26:21.570 180 days prior to projected departure date 26:21.570 --> 26:24.590 as long as you've initiated your out-processing. 26:24.590 --> 26:26.410 Not necessarily completed 26:26.410 --> 26:29.540 all those items on an out-processing checklist, right? 26:29.540 --> 26:31.360 So, we're saying you know for career, 26:31.360 --> 26:32.640 we start with career, we say, you know, 26:32.640 --> 26:34.689 we're gonna go ahead 180 days out 26:34.689 --> 26:37.849 give everyone their orders, as long as they initiated 26:37.849 --> 26:40.490 their out-processing actions. 26:40.490 --> 26:41.850 So, as we were going through that test, 26:41.850 --> 26:44.360 we realized we were gonna look at, you know some CONUS bases 26:44.360 --> 26:47.223 so we looked at the JBS community as well. 26:48.100 --> 26:49.300 Okay, we didn't have any 26:50.380 --> 26:53.810 negative affects of the Korea beta test, 26:53.810 --> 26:56.770 and so with JBSA, we're in the middle of that, 26:56.770 --> 26:58.729 did the same thing, provided that opportunity 26:58.729 --> 27:01.365 provided order 180 days out. 27:01.365 --> 27:03.920 And it was very successful, 27:03.920 --> 27:05.410 so we decided we're gonna push it out 27:05.410 --> 27:06.600 to the entire Air Force. 27:06.600 --> 27:08.070 We didn't finish that second beta test, 27:08.070 --> 27:10.010 but we didn't think we really needed to, right? 27:10.010 --> 27:12.520 So as of today, I will tell you although our goal 27:12.520 --> 27:15.730 is to get you your order 180 days 27:15.730 --> 27:18.011 prior to your projected departure date, 27:18.011 --> 27:20.340 we're sitting at the 60-day mark, right? 27:20.340 --> 27:24.083 So, 60 days out, you should be receiving your orders. 27:25.550 --> 27:28.950 Now, this accelerated initiative here for orders, 27:28.950 --> 27:30.570 it doesn't always work with everybody, right? 27:30.570 --> 27:34.680 There are some circumstances that affect 27:34.680 --> 27:36.930 you getting your orders early and that's things 27:36.930 --> 27:38.910 such as EFMP, right? 27:38.910 --> 27:42.320 Exceptional Family Member Program, right? 27:42.320 --> 27:46.080 So, if you are EFMP, we want to make sure that medically, 27:46.080 --> 27:48.210 we have the right support for you and your family. 27:48.210 --> 27:49.950 So, maybe providing those orders ahead of time 27:49.950 --> 27:52.230 may not be the right answer for you and your family, right? 27:52.230 --> 27:54.010 So, we work through those case by case 27:54.010 --> 27:57.170 and then also for PRP, Personal Reliability Program. 27:57.170 --> 28:00.240 We wanna make sure that, you know, you are cleared 28:00.240 --> 28:01.870 to go to those locations. 28:01.870 --> 28:04.740 So, providing your orders ahead of time may not always work. 28:04.740 --> 28:07.090 But I will tell you that this is a huge win, 28:07.090 --> 28:09.209 because in the past, you've waited 28:09.209 --> 28:13.640 a long time (laughs) to get your orders, right? 28:13.640 --> 28:16.210 You could be, you know, no kidding, 30 days out 28:16.210 --> 28:18.595 and some of you wouldn't have PSC orders 28:18.595 --> 28:20.585 and that became a hardship for you. 28:20.585 --> 28:22.740 Now, this opportunity will be able to help you, you know, 28:22.740 --> 28:27.060 make those phone calls to coordinate household deliveries, 28:27.060 --> 28:28.440 you can get your kids enrolled in school, 28:28.440 --> 28:31.070 you can get things taken care or with future homes, right? 28:31.070 --> 28:32.560 At the next installation. 28:32.560 --> 28:35.159 So, it's definitely something that provides you 28:35.159 --> 28:37.759 that support that you need when you're PSCing, okay? 28:40.550 --> 28:42.310 Any questions about this? 28:42.310 --> 28:45.247 I mentioned that we're at the 60-day mark, right? 28:45.247 --> 28:48.110 So, 60 days prior to your projected departure date, 28:48.110 --> 28:49.534 you should be able to get your orders. 28:49.534 --> 28:52.608 Due to fiscal budget and that type of thing, 28:52.608 --> 28:56.800 we're probably not get to 90 days until maybe after October. 28:56.800 --> 28:58.620 But I will tell you, our goal we are gonna get 28:58.620 --> 29:01.473 across the finish line is to get to that 180-day mark. 29:02.489 --> 29:03.870 All right? 29:03.870 --> 29:08.870 Anyone in here, show of hands, within 60 days of departing 29:09.720 --> 29:12.210 and have not received their orders? 29:12.210 --> 29:13.043 Show of hands. 29:14.580 --> 29:15.620 One person. 29:15.620 --> 29:18.060 Okay, then I would ask you ma'am if you could come see us 29:18.060 --> 29:20.283 so we can take care of you. 29:25.180 --> 29:27.493 Any questions, any other questions about this? 29:28.640 --> 29:30.610 We are definitely here to take care of you, 29:30.610 --> 29:31.533 we're definitely here to make sure 29:31.533 --> 29:33.900 that we stand by our word on how we 29:33.900 --> 29:35.880 move within out programs, right? 29:35.880 --> 29:38.303 Hence, we're gonna make sure that we score our way too. 29:41.740 --> 29:43.810 All right, last bullet on here talks a little bit about 29:43.810 --> 29:46.310 early notification of assignments for commanders. 29:46.310 --> 29:48.429 How many of you are aware that commanders 29:48.429 --> 29:51.390 should be receiving assignment notifications 29:51.390 --> 29:53.853 seven days before you actually get notified? 29:54.960 --> 29:56.837 Right, okay, good show of hands here. 29:56.837 --> 29:58.920 So, I just wanna reiterate to you that 29:58.920 --> 30:02.490 that seven-day window is not an opportunity 30:02.490 --> 30:04.290 for you to negotiate the assignment. 30:05.980 --> 30:07.250 Right, it's not. 30:07.250 --> 30:10.140 But what it is for is for your commander 30:10.140 --> 30:12.480 to be able to posture for the mission 30:12.480 --> 30:14.930 of you being PCS-ed, right? 30:14.930 --> 30:16.830 Making sure that they are able to make those decisions 30:16.830 --> 30:19.110 and additionally, to sit down with you 30:19.110 --> 30:21.459 and talk to you a little bit about what to expect, 30:21.459 --> 30:23.820 and then how to take your family 30:23.820 --> 30:26.770 if you need to in the event that the move happens, right? 30:26.770 --> 30:28.870 So, it's just not a negotiation period, 30:28.870 --> 30:31.150 we wanna make sure that we're really riding that 30:31.150 --> 30:31.983 out there to you. 30:31.983 --> 30:34.660 But it is definitely a great tool for your commanders 30:34.660 --> 30:37.807 to be able to be, you know, educated on 30:37.807 --> 30:39.680 who they're losing, right? 30:39.680 --> 30:42.070 Who's the projected loss to their organization 30:42.070 --> 30:45.133 so they can better posture the mission, okay? 30:46.130 --> 30:47.097 Yes, yes ma'am. 30:47.097 --> 30:49.347 (mumbling) 30:50.550 --> 30:51.828 - [Audience Member] Should I speak now? 30:51.828 --> 30:52.661 - [Woman] Yes. 30:52.661 --> 30:54.940 - [Audience Member] Okay, hello, just a quick question. 30:54.940 --> 30:55.830 So, when it comes to 30:55.830 --> 30:58.280 the seven-day notification for our commanders, 30:58.280 --> 31:02.200 how do you keep your commander rotation list updated? 31:02.200 --> 31:05.300 For example, every other year 31:05.300 --> 31:07.360 we have brand new squadron commanders coming in, 31:07.360 --> 31:10.323 potentially notifying ones that are deployed. 31:11.650 --> 31:14.460 How do yo know who the back-up is for this notification? 31:14.460 --> 31:16.260 'Cause I've seen them go very wrong. 31:18.130 --> 31:20.263 - [Chief Baxter] Thank you for that question. 31:20.263 --> 31:22.613 And so, the way the notification process works, 31:25.021 --> 31:26.750 we're meeting with the FSS's, right? 31:26.750 --> 31:29.990 We're gonna sit down with the FSS's and talk about 31:29.990 --> 31:32.960 any issues or concerns with the notifications 31:32.960 --> 31:34.930 going to the commanders. 31:34.930 --> 31:37.667 So I would say, here at the installation level, 31:37.667 --> 31:40.300 the FSS should be able to have a, no kidding, 31:40.300 --> 31:42.450 updated roster, right on those individuals. 31:44.620 --> 31:47.181 - It's a line to, who asked that question? 31:47.181 --> 31:48.740 So, it's a line to the passcode. 31:48.740 --> 31:51.117 So as commanders, they change out 31:51.117 --> 31:54.765 the PSM shop, which is assistant shop inside the MPO. 31:54.765 --> 31:56.232 We have honored the passcode, that's how 31:56.232 --> 31:57.280 we're able to say who. 31:57.280 --> 31:59.803 So really up to the commander responsibility. 32:03.110 --> 32:04.390 - Thank you for that question. 32:04.390 --> 32:06.250 Any other questions? 32:06.250 --> 32:07.516 This is what we want, right? 32:07.516 --> 32:09.264 We want to make sure we're answering those questions 32:09.264 --> 32:11.940 that you have that can help you, you know, 32:11.940 --> 32:14.640 better educate those folks that are around you, right? 32:15.699 --> 32:16.532 Awesome. 32:17.740 --> 32:18.990 Okay, next slide, please. 32:22.200 --> 32:24.180 Career Status Program, 32:24.180 --> 32:26.870 otherwise known as Indefinite Reenlistments. 32:26.870 --> 32:29.410 How many of you have heard about this recently? 32:29.410 --> 32:30.710 Or heard about it overall? 32:32.370 --> 32:33.203 Okay. 32:33.203 --> 32:36.870 So, I wanna talk a little bit about what this program is. 32:36.870 --> 32:39.350 It really, you know, being an Indefinite Reenlistment 32:39.350 --> 32:40.733 basically says it, right? 32:41.710 --> 32:44.540 You're gonna have this one last reenlistment and then 32:44.540 --> 32:49.000 your data separation will then match your HYT, okay? 32:49.000 --> 32:50.367 We are still in the process, 32:50.367 --> 32:52.550 if you look at that first line there, right? 32:52.550 --> 32:55.640 It says right after 15 or more of years of service. 32:55.640 --> 32:57.210 So, all of that's identified here, 32:57.210 --> 32:59.170 I have to make sure I express to you all 32:59.170 --> 33:03.060 that this has not been approved and/or defined yet. 33:03.060 --> 33:04.800 We're just giving you kind of a peak behind the tent 33:04.800 --> 33:07.058 of letting you know that this is going to happen. 33:07.058 --> 33:10.990 But we're going to to see maybe 15 years of service 33:10.990 --> 33:13.760 is not the right time for that to happen, right? 33:13.760 --> 33:15.720 Maybe, I don't know, 12 years. 33:15.720 --> 33:17.710 So, we're looking at that years of service range 33:17.710 --> 33:20.248 to make sure that it's at the right target 33:20.248 --> 33:22.870 before we actually push that information out. 33:22.870 --> 33:25.100 But just know this, this is a huge, 33:25.100 --> 33:27.230 this will be definitely a huge win for the enlister, right? 33:27.230 --> 33:31.300 Because as it shows on the bottom, you know, 33:31.300 --> 33:33.520 doing the retainability, right? 33:33.520 --> 33:35.284 That takes a lot of work and effort, right? 33:35.284 --> 33:39.130 Processing those documents takes a lot of work and effort. 33:39.130 --> 33:41.590 Some of it is a pay affecting, right? 33:41.590 --> 33:45.270 So, those things could potentially be minimized as well. 33:45.270 --> 33:46.543 So, as we work through this, 33:46.543 --> 33:50.282 AFPC will continue to message out some of the specifics 33:50.282 --> 33:52.220 but we wanted to give you a read-ahead 33:52.220 --> 33:55.070 that this is something that we are definitely looking at. 33:56.020 --> 33:59.153 Any questions on this? 34:02.790 --> 34:04.410 Okay, next slide, please. 34:06.650 --> 34:09.060 Hot topic of discussion is Developmental Special Duty 34:09.060 --> 34:13.160 and I think I saw some questions on the meeting polls 34:13.160 --> 34:16.460 about DSD, which we're getting answers for, 34:16.460 --> 34:19.250 but I really wanted you to know as airmen, 34:19.250 --> 34:21.200 that it's important for you to one, 34:21.200 --> 34:23.900 know what available opportunities are there for you 34:23.900 --> 34:25.690 for Developmental Special Duty, right? 34:25.690 --> 34:27.497 'Cause it gives you the, no kidding, out 34:27.497 --> 34:31.060 of the AFAC perspective on something different 34:31.060 --> 34:32.087 and it develops you, right? 34:32.087 --> 34:34.400 And these are the AFPCs right here currently today, 34:34.400 --> 34:35.993 which are associated with DSD. 34:37.329 --> 34:38.440 From your level, 34:38.440 --> 34:42.440 I would ask that as an airmen supervisor leader, 34:42.440 --> 34:45.100 that you understand the requirements, 34:45.100 --> 34:47.900 the eligibility requirements for DSD. 34:47.900 --> 34:51.930 So, if you're interested in becoming a military instructor, 34:51.930 --> 34:54.543 you know what requirements are for MTI. 34:55.750 --> 34:59.090 What's happening up to day is we're still receiving 34:59.090 --> 35:02.107 nominations of individuals for Developmental Special Duty 35:02.107 --> 35:05.860 and by the time it's vectored through the wing, match coms, 35:05.860 --> 35:07.750 and it comes to AFPC, 35:07.750 --> 35:10.669 we're still having to disqualify you, 35:10.669 --> 35:12.140 because you're not even meeting 35:12.140 --> 35:14.450 the minimum eligibility requirements. 35:14.450 --> 35:17.410 So, what message can I send to you guys here? 35:17.410 --> 35:19.100 Is that as airmen, right? 35:19.100 --> 35:22.050 If you take the opportunity to really understand 35:22.050 --> 35:24.940 what each job, you know, requirements are 35:24.940 --> 35:27.840 for those specific jobs that you actually meet them 35:27.840 --> 35:29.903 before you name gets pushed up, okay? 35:31.659 --> 35:33.070 I'd like to see a show, 35:33.070 --> 35:35.070 how many of you have been nominated for DSD? 35:35.070 --> 35:36.253 Show of hands. 35:37.500 --> 35:38.930 Hold on, keep your hands there. 35:38.930 --> 35:41.533 How many of you knew about your nomination? 35:43.850 --> 35:46.210 Awesome, that's good to see. 35:46.210 --> 35:48.910 We're getting feedback that sometimes 35:48.910 --> 35:51.251 folks are being nominated and not necessarily 35:51.251 --> 35:53.220 know that they're being nominated, right? 35:53.220 --> 35:55.855 So, they're surprised when AFPC sends them that 35:55.855 --> 35:58.580 notification of, congratulations! 35:58.580 --> 36:00.280 You have been nominated for First Sergeant Duty. 36:00.280 --> 36:02.052 And they're like, what just happened? 36:02.052 --> 36:03.658 You know, I didn't know about that 36:03.658 --> 36:05.806 So, that's good to hear, right? 36:05.806 --> 36:07.820 Form your preservative, I would just say 36:07.820 --> 36:10.100 the takeaway here is one, 36:10.100 --> 36:12.467 definitely make sure that you know what the job entails 36:12.467 --> 36:14.680 and that's something that you wanna do and yeah, 36:14.680 --> 36:15.670 definitely let your leadership know 36:15.670 --> 36:18.570 that you're interested in that, Okay? 36:20.313 --> 36:22.060 Any questions on Developmental, 36:22.060 --> 36:24.320 oh, somebody had a question about First Sergeants, right? 36:24.320 --> 36:26.839 Wanted to know if the First Sergeants were 36:26.839 --> 36:30.713 changing I think, DSD or something like that. 36:32.360 --> 36:34.170 Did we provide a response on that? 36:34.170 --> 36:36.240 - [Audience Member] Yeah, that PSDM should be 36:36.240 --> 36:39.490 released in court right now and should be released. 36:39.490 --> 36:40.323 It is changing. 36:40.323 --> 36:41.156 - [Chief Baxter] Okay. 36:41.156 --> 36:44.052 So, just for general information purposes, 36:44.052 --> 36:46.680 the 8F000 First Sergeants, 36:46.680 --> 36:49.550 that process for Developmental Special Duty is changing, 36:49.550 --> 36:52.597 the Personnel Services Delivery Guide will be released 36:52.597 --> 36:55.050 and that information will be available for you 36:55.050 --> 36:57.313 to identify what those changes are, Okay? 37:00.280 --> 37:02.000 Any questions? 37:02.000 --> 37:02.833 Yes, sir? 37:11.100 --> 37:12.490 - [Audience Member] In the eight series, there's also 37:12.490 --> 37:16.130 a few other positions like courier, and defense attache. 37:16.130 --> 37:17.680 How come those aren't up there? 37:20.180 --> 37:21.130 - [Colonel Boyd] That's a good question, 37:21.130 --> 37:22.760 they're not actually identified 37:22.760 --> 37:25.130 as Developmental Special Duties, right? 37:25.130 --> 37:28.603 Those are positions that are identified via equal plus, 37:29.530 --> 37:31.960 you should see the, it's a good question though, 37:31.960 --> 37:36.960 'cause you do have to actually step out of your peripheral 37:37.430 --> 37:38.790 tasks to do those jobs, right? 37:38.790 --> 37:41.470 So, it is something that's advertised via AMS 37:41.470 --> 37:44.733 but it is not characterized as a Developmental Special Duty. 37:50.010 --> 37:51.233 Any other questions? 37:55.030 --> 37:55.980 Next slide, please. 37:59.660 --> 38:02.240 So, looking at enlisted evaluations, 38:02.240 --> 38:07.240 we still have a huge concern with the timeliness with evals. 38:07.520 --> 38:09.630 From your perspective, what we like to see 38:09.630 --> 38:12.560 is your involvement in making sure that evals 38:12.560 --> 38:15.880 are being processed in a timely manner, right? 38:15.880 --> 38:18.210 So, from your seat, if you could make sure 38:18.210 --> 38:21.170 that you're getting those evals through, 38:21.170 --> 38:23.020 because what ends up happening, right? 38:23.020 --> 38:24.450 This lateness to AFPC. 38:27.090 --> 38:29.810 This lateness to AFPC is, they're second 38:29.810 --> 38:31.400 and third order effects. 38:31.400 --> 38:34.556 Although the member meets a supplemental board, 38:34.556 --> 38:37.160 they could've potentially been promoted earlier, right? 38:37.160 --> 38:39.040 So, we're pushing them back later 38:39.040 --> 38:42.210 to supplementally meet the board for consideration. 38:42.210 --> 38:45.830 And then, additionally, the feedback on that report 38:47.060 --> 38:49.815 is probably not occurring in a timely manner 38:49.815 --> 38:50.648 if you're late, right? 38:50.648 --> 38:52.350 If you're late on pushing that report. 38:52.350 --> 38:55.270 So, we wanna make sure that we provide that timely feedback, 38:55.270 --> 38:56.780 that, no kidding, members have 38:56.780 --> 38:59.130 the opportunity to be promoted in a timely manner, 38:59.130 --> 39:01.200 or at least looked at in a timely manner. 39:01.200 --> 39:03.140 And two, what if the member is selected for a promotion? 39:03.140 --> 39:05.830 That puts a delay on the payment, right? 39:05.830 --> 39:08.270 The person, the family receiving that amount. 39:08.270 --> 39:10.220 So, it's crucial from your perspective that 39:10.220 --> 39:12.646 you actually do your best to push those reports 39:12.646 --> 39:15.403 and make sure that they're on time to AFPC. 39:16.700 --> 39:19.303 Any questions on enlisted evals? 39:20.933 --> 39:21.766 - I have two. - Yes. 39:21.766 --> 39:23.969 - [Audience Member] Do you have these stats 39:23.969 --> 39:26.283 that show what level these evals 39:26.283 --> 39:28.783 are getting stuck at the most? 39:30.023 --> 39:32.380 - [Colonel Boyd] I do not have these stats here with me, 39:32.380 --> 39:34.386 but I think that's something we can definitely look 39:34.386 --> 39:36.117 into finding out. 39:37.218 --> 39:38.051 Okay. 39:38.893 --> 39:40.302 - [Audience Member] Do you have a theory? 39:40.302 --> 39:41.135 - [Audience Member] I'm sorry? 39:41.135 --> 39:41.968 - [Audience Member] Do you have a theory 39:41.968 --> 39:42.829 on where it's getting stuck? 39:42.829 --> 39:43.889 - [Audience Member] I think it's between 39:43.889 --> 39:46.132 one of the people that usually power it. 39:46.132 --> 39:48.565 (audience laughing) 39:48.565 --> 39:50.756 - [Audience Member] So at the local level? 39:50.756 --> 39:52.330 - [Audience Member] Sure, at the local level. 39:52.330 --> 39:54.030 I just wanna know within the lanes, 39:54.030 --> 39:56.197 you're seeing the density. 39:57.990 --> 40:00.453 - [Colonel Boyd] We'll let you power something up on that. 40:01.380 --> 40:03.900 - So that's a great point, and it could be 40:03.900 --> 40:04.880 a local issue, right? 40:04.880 --> 40:06.790 And that's where our leadership is, we do it 40:06.790 --> 40:09.610 at AFPC with our reports and how we look at it, 40:09.610 --> 40:12.200 so we're in the same boat as you guys, 40:12.200 --> 40:14.020 but if you look at the list of BBC, 40:14.020 --> 40:15.750 everybody needs to see it, right? 40:15.750 --> 40:18.610 So leadership can take that list and dwindle it down 40:18.610 --> 40:20.410 based on, we know first of all need to look 40:20.410 --> 40:22.560 at a report for quality indicators. 40:22.560 --> 40:25.725 Supervision, but if you got three or four 40:25.725 --> 40:27.420 senior management sergeants or chiefs 40:27.420 --> 40:30.220 looking at a report, probably could dwindle that down 40:30.220 --> 40:31.630 to kinda help speed up the process. 40:31.630 --> 40:33.177 But that's a great point that I will bring up 40:33.177 --> 40:34.553 to the leadership here. 40:37.345 --> 40:38.770 - Hey, you guys, can you come up here? 40:38.770 --> 40:40.280 I got a coin burning in my pocket 40:40.280 --> 40:42.150 because your candid transparency right there 40:42.150 --> 40:43.504 just got me spooled up. 40:43.504 --> 40:44.337 (audience laughing) 40:44.337 --> 40:45.487 Is that you that brought it up? 40:45.487 --> 40:47.350 (audience clapping) 40:47.350 --> 40:48.627 Now help us fix it. 40:51.617 --> 40:54.617 (audience laughing) 40:57.834 --> 41:00.834 (audience clapping) 41:02.650 --> 41:03.903 - That's good stuff right there, good stuff. 41:06.520 --> 41:07.927 Any other questions on EES? 41:10.740 --> 41:13.413 All right, let's take a look at the next slide, please. 41:14.930 --> 41:17.945 So this is really dealing with promotion results, 41:17.945 --> 41:20.760 and what we wanted to show you guys is focusing in 41:20.760 --> 41:23.104 on the current now must promote 41:23.104 --> 41:24.766 and promote recommendations, right? 41:24.766 --> 41:27.714 Overall message, you know, to take away 41:27.714 --> 41:32.714 is that receiving a promote will still give the opportunity 41:32.827 --> 41:34.650 to be promoted. 41:34.650 --> 41:36.604 Although receiving a must promote 41:36.604 --> 41:38.930 and a promote now, the commander gives you 41:38.930 --> 41:42.370 a distinct advantage to being promoted, 41:42.370 --> 41:44.710 you has an airman still have to put in your effort 41:44.710 --> 41:46.490 and you can still be promoted without 41:46.490 --> 41:47.920 promote recommendation, right? 41:47.920 --> 41:49.907 So if you look at the number of selects, 41:49.907 --> 41:52.192 the center column is kind of what I look at 41:52.192 --> 41:54.340 and wanna show you guys, and you look at 41:54.340 --> 41:57.290 the highlighted and numbers, the percentages, right? 41:57.290 --> 42:02.290 For the '19 E7 results, promote nows, there were 23% 42:02.360 --> 42:04.710 of promote nows that were selected. 42:04.710 --> 42:06.183 Only 23%, so that doesn't mean you're gonna 42:06.183 --> 42:07.550 automatically get promoted if you get 42:07.550 --> 42:09.993 promote now, either, right? 42:09.993 --> 42:10.960 That's what that's telling you. 42:10.960 --> 42:12.420 So the individual, you as an airman 42:12.420 --> 42:14.170 still have to put forth the effort, right? 42:14.170 --> 42:19.170 Must promotes, 33% of your must promotes got selected 42:19.497 --> 42:20.330 for a promotion. 42:20.330 --> 42:23.960 Again, still a message for you to see that 42:23.960 --> 42:27.101 an MP doesn't automatically get you in the door 42:27.101 --> 42:28.136 for a promotion, right? 42:28.136 --> 42:29.630 And then, you know, really the big hitter here 42:29.630 --> 42:34.630 is 42% of the selects received a promote. 42:35.460 --> 42:36.963 Man, that's a huge percentage. 42:38.260 --> 42:40.380 So it shouldn't be demotivating for you, right? 42:40.380 --> 42:42.610 Yeah, if you want to, you have that distinct advantage 42:42.610 --> 42:44.930 and you wanna make sure that you're definitely 42:44.930 --> 42:46.368 competitive enough, right? 42:46.368 --> 42:47.820 You wanna make sure you're doing those things, 42:47.820 --> 42:50.640 but don't allow that promotion rating 42:50.640 --> 42:53.050 to affect you getting promoted, 'cause you're 42:53.050 --> 42:54.680 still in the game, okay? 42:54.680 --> 42:56.933 And we wanna make sure that you're sharing that message. 42:58.190 --> 42:59.283 Any questions here? 43:03.300 --> 43:04.550 Okay, next slide, please. 43:05.930 --> 43:07.820 Oh, yes. 43:07.820 --> 43:09.587 Oh, yep, so we have another question before go on 43:09.587 --> 43:11.943 to the briefing, Sergeant Fos is gonna answer. 43:13.290 --> 43:15.230 - [Sergeant Fos] Okay, so the question is concerning 43:15.230 --> 43:19.460 the overseas returnee cycle, specifically a member is asking 43:19.460 --> 43:21.340 if a member's first assignment was overseas 43:21.340 --> 43:23.490 and they returned stateside, will their PCS cycle 43:23.490 --> 43:26.330 always remain the same to PCS overseas, 43:26.330 --> 43:27.480 or could it change? 43:27.480 --> 43:30.280 The cycle dates could, but the cycle months 43:30.280 --> 43:31.113 will never change. 43:31.113 --> 43:33.350 So if you go out on My Purse on AMS and you see 43:33.350 --> 43:35.400 the cycle calendar for the oversea returnees 43:35.400 --> 43:38.270 and overseas cycles, those months will never change, 43:38.270 --> 43:41.040 but I will tell you this, I had someone, you know, 43:41.040 --> 43:42.630 we always tell people when they wanna move, 43:42.630 --> 43:43.750 that feel like they're stuck somewhere, 43:43.750 --> 43:44.730 volunteer for Korea. 43:44.730 --> 43:46.470 Keep Korea in your dream sheet. 43:46.470 --> 43:48.100 It's true, but what people are doing 43:48.100 --> 43:51.337 is they're removing Korea after the cycle closes. 43:51.337 --> 43:53.570 What a lot of people don't realize is we have 43:53.570 --> 43:56.890 a lot of people medically disqualified out of Korea, 43:56.890 --> 43:59.756 and we have to do out-of-cycle reselects. 43:59.756 --> 44:03.810 If you keep your dream sheet updated to include Korea on it, 44:03.810 --> 44:06.130 you could be considered one of those out-of-cycle reselects, 44:06.130 --> 44:07.370 so keep that in mind. 44:07.370 --> 44:09.190 Your dream sheet does not only pertain 44:09.190 --> 44:11.203 to cycle timeframe, okay? 44:11.203 --> 44:12.803 Hope that answers your question. 44:17.140 --> 44:18.502 - [Audience Member] Thank you. 44:18.502 --> 44:19.585 Colonel Boyd? 44:22.900 --> 44:24.630 - You guys been checking out the meeting polls? 44:24.630 --> 44:26.420 Your questions are getting answered right there 44:26.420 --> 44:31.268 on the meeting polls itself, and if you asked a question 44:31.268 --> 44:33.190 and you don't see it anymore, we are marking them as done. 44:33.190 --> 44:34.750 If they've been answered, we're marking them as done. 44:34.750 --> 44:36.583 You can still scroll to the bottom and see them. 44:36.583 --> 44:38.610 And one I just thought was pretty awesome, 44:38.610 --> 44:40.770 it was about commissioning, right? 44:40.770 --> 44:42.770 And if you look down, all the way down, 44:42.770 --> 44:44.759 and it says marked as done, there was like three 44:44.759 --> 44:48.390 really good nuggets that were added to the response 44:48.390 --> 44:51.130 on that one, like about, you know, not only 44:51.130 --> 44:53.095 are we gonna take it back as AFPC 44:53.095 --> 44:57.010 from the career systems advisor fam perspective, 44:57.010 --> 44:59.720 but also, you know, your local team, 44:59.720 --> 45:02.800 your career assistant adviser POC is listed on here. 45:02.800 --> 45:05.270 And then also we provided some, hey, you can go 45:05.270 --> 45:07.640 onto My Purse under the website and also seek out 45:07.640 --> 45:08.840 information through that route. 45:08.840 --> 45:10.578 So lots of good information on there, 45:10.578 --> 45:12.740 I just wanted to highlight that, and thanks to everybody 45:12.740 --> 45:15.500 for asking incredible questions, in my opinion, 45:15.500 --> 45:18.150 and you guys are just a really good, respectful group, 45:18.150 --> 45:20.340 and asking some awesome questions, so thank you for, 45:20.340 --> 45:22.393 so far, really, really good. 45:23.830 --> 45:24.663 Let's see. 45:24.663 --> 45:26.929 Any other questions you guys wanna highlight the answer? 45:26.929 --> 45:30.230 Chiefs in the front row, any ones you wanna talk about 45:30.230 --> 45:31.450 that were answered in the meeting polls, 45:31.450 --> 45:33.200 but you think is worth emphasizing? 45:36.610 --> 45:37.443 - [Audience Member] Yeah, we can talk about it. 45:37.443 --> 45:40.832 Someone had a question stratification, right? 45:40.832 --> 45:42.934 So it was a senior manager sergeant, 45:42.934 --> 45:45.040 or not senior manager sergeant, but a senior NCL. 45:45.040 --> 45:48.232 So we answered, but I'll tell you my perspective, 45:48.232 --> 45:49.810 and me and the command chief were up here talking, 45:49.810 --> 45:51.130 I don't think you should get yourself so caught up 45:51.130 --> 45:52.410 on the strat things, right? 45:52.410 --> 45:54.210 Because the reason we went to this new system 45:54.210 --> 45:57.020 is so we could focus specifically on performance. 45:57.020 --> 45:59.370 Our old system was moving towards that, 45:59.370 --> 46:01.979 but chief master sergeant in the Air Force 46:01.979 --> 46:02.812 decided by doing away with testing, 46:02.812 --> 46:04.800 we were solely gonna focus on performance. 46:04.800 --> 46:07.228 I will tell you, and I'll tell this in every form. 46:07.228 --> 46:09.350 I was promoted without stratification. 46:09.350 --> 46:11.630 I've been stratified, but this is gonna be 46:11.630 --> 46:13.400 the sustained performance. 46:13.400 --> 46:16.333 So if you get a strat this year, it doesn't even 46:16.333 --> 46:17.585 necessarily mean you're gonna get promoted. 46:17.585 --> 46:19.430 You're gonna have a high chance of being looked at, 46:19.430 --> 46:21.210 but if you hadn't had that performance 46:21.210 --> 46:23.910 the past four years, then it's probably 46:23.910 --> 46:26.000 not gonna matter, so we always tell our folks 46:26.000 --> 46:30.010 that stratification works, it's a tool for the commander. 46:30.010 --> 46:31.690 There have been discussions that chief 46:31.690 --> 46:32.901 can talk to you about. 46:32.901 --> 46:36.597 Should we do abstracts, but don't get so much 46:36.597 --> 46:39.593 caught on the strat versus the sustained performance. 46:39.593 --> 46:40.426 All right. 46:41.690 --> 46:42.940 - Anybody else? 46:49.940 --> 46:51.120 All right, great. 46:51.120 --> 46:53.830 So we've been talking about talent management 46:53.830 --> 46:55.671 for the first portion of this briefing. 46:55.671 --> 46:59.720 Another really important mission set that we have at AFPC 46:59.720 --> 47:04.360 is we have a hold direct that is in support of airmen 47:04.360 --> 47:05.283 and family care. 47:06.820 --> 47:08.789 Most of you might think of, next slide, 47:08.789 --> 47:11.820 the Wounded Warrior program, for example. 47:11.820 --> 47:12.653 Go ahead, go to the next slide. 47:12.653 --> 47:15.090 So have you guys heard of the Wounded Warrior program? 47:15.090 --> 47:15.923 Anybody? 47:15.923 --> 47:16.810 Raise your hand, really? 47:16.810 --> 47:18.670 Okay, that's what we normally see. 47:18.670 --> 47:22.350 A lot of those care events, Wounded Warrior competitions 47:22.350 --> 47:24.840 and things like that is a real visible way 47:24.840 --> 47:27.669 of this program and our AFPC teammates 47:27.669 --> 47:29.838 really do a good job with this program. 47:29.838 --> 47:33.550 If you look at the number, there's actually over 47:33.550 --> 47:36.360 9,800 airmen in our United States Air Force 47:36.360 --> 47:38.254 that are enrolled in Wounded Warrior, 47:38.254 --> 47:40.329 but if you look at that same bullet, 47:40.329 --> 47:43.929 it says 14% combat related. 47:43.929 --> 47:48.929 In other words, 86% are not combat-related, okay? 47:49.170 --> 47:50.758 So let me ask you, what kind of things 47:50.758 --> 47:52.802 might be non-combat related reasons 47:52.802 --> 47:54.749 why they might be a Wounded Warrior? 47:54.749 --> 47:56.235 Shout it out. 47:56.235 --> 47:57.068 - [Audience Member] Sexual assault. 47:57.068 --> 47:58.384 - [Colonel Boyd] Sexual assault. 47:58.384 --> 47:59.217 - [Audience Member] Cancer. 47:59.217 --> 48:01.414 - [Colonel Boyd] Cancer, absolutely. 48:01.414 --> 48:02.247 - [Audience Member] TBIs. 48:02.247 --> 48:03.740 - [Colonel Boyd] TBI, absolutely. 48:05.490 --> 48:06.353 What else?

52:13.466 --> 52:16.803 Okay, next slide, next slide. 52:18.030 --> 52:21.210 So, a great benefit our Air Force has, 52:21.210 --> 52:23.250 and I tell you, they didn't have it 28 years ago 52:23.250 --> 52:24.840 when I came in the Air Force, and I'm really glad 52:24.840 --> 52:27.810 they have it now, is this transfer of education benefits. 52:27.810 --> 52:28.803 Who's done this? 52:30.140 --> 52:31.830 Bunch of you have, awesome. 52:31.830 --> 52:34.132 If you haven't done it, maybe you're not in that 52:34.132 --> 52:36.310 sweet spot there, that over six years, 52:36.310 --> 52:37.780 but what I would encourage you to do 52:37.780 --> 52:39.650 if you do have dependents and you wanna transfer them, 52:39.650 --> 52:41.290 just make sure you are able to fulfill 52:41.290 --> 52:43.760 the four-year active duty service commitment 52:43.760 --> 52:45.611 to do the transfer. 52:45.611 --> 52:47.670 And we wanna emphasize this out here, 52:47.670 --> 52:50.503 because this is a recruiting and retention incentive, 52:51.609 --> 52:55.623 that's why the Department of Defense received this benefit. 52:57.610 --> 52:59.670 But again, they wanna make sure they get at least 52:59.670 --> 53:02.380 the four years return on investment, if you will, 53:02.380 --> 53:04.980 for doing so, and we want to highlight this data. 53:04.980 --> 53:07.777 If you haven't transferred it yet but you're thinking 53:07.777 --> 53:12.130 about doing it, the 20th of January, '20, 53:12.130 --> 53:13.960 limit any kind of transfer of the benefits 53:13.960 --> 53:15.343 if you're if you're outside of that window 53:15.343 --> 53:17.600 six and 16 years of service. 53:17.600 --> 53:21.260 So if you're 17 years of service, you haven't done it yet, 53:21.260 --> 53:25.670 and it's January 30th, you can't transfer, 53:25.670 --> 53:28.940 'cause again, this is a recruiting and retention incentive. 53:28.940 --> 53:30.730 If you have over 16 years, very likely 53:30.730 --> 53:32.070 you'll be staying to 20, and we don't need 53:32.070 --> 53:33.780 to incentivize you to do so. 53:33.780 --> 53:34.613 So that's the rationale. 53:34.613 --> 53:37.000 And that's what the Department of Defense 53:37.000 --> 53:38.660 DOD program is all about. 53:38.660 --> 53:40.690 So I just wanna do the quick emphasize item 53:40.690 --> 53:41.853 on that one, okay? 53:42.870 --> 53:43.703 Next slide. 53:45.070 --> 53:46.750 Okay, I think that's the lat slide. 53:46.750 --> 53:48.603 How's the meeting polls going, chiefs? 53:50.526 --> 53:53.893 Anything you wanna reiterate on the meeting polls? 53:57.570 --> 53:58.403 Got one? 54:04.270 --> 54:05.580 - [Chief Baxter] Okay, there is a question, it says 54:05.580 --> 54:08.280 is there anything in the works for anyone 54:08.280 --> 54:11.210 in the Air Force that's separated from children 54:11.210 --> 54:13.840 due to a divorce to get back to their children, 54:13.840 --> 54:16.180 other than a basic preference? 54:16.180 --> 54:18.130 I can tell you right now that as of today, 54:18.130 --> 54:22.880 there is not a no kidding program that outlines that, 54:22.880 --> 54:24.860 but I will also tell you in the same voice 54:24.860 --> 54:28.565 that AFPC works cases on a situational basis, 54:28.565 --> 54:31.360 and normally those are elevated through leadership, 54:31.360 --> 54:32.810 and then we get them from command chiefs 54:32.810 --> 54:34.160 and your commanders, right?
