As Air Force members, it's important to keep your record accurate, especially if you're meeting a Selection (for officers) or Evaluation (for SNCOs) Board; and who knows your record better than you? If you find discrepancies in your Data Verification Brief (DVB) ensure you bring a source document to the MPS in order to have your records corrected.

Retirements/Separation Are you separating or retiring?

Retirement Options: Request Retirement DD Form 214 Worksheet

Separation Options: DD Form 214 Worksheet Initial Separation Briefing Officer/Enlisted Voluntary Separation Tutorial Voluntary Separation Pre-Separation Order Worksheet

*** Physical Delivery of DD Form 214***

1. In an effort to minimize costs and utilize existing technology, effective 1 December 2013, the hard copy DD Form 214 (copies 1 and 4) will no longer be mailed out to members. Since October 2010, separating or retiring individuals could electronically access and print their DD Form 214s. Eliminating the need of mailing paper copies reduces money spent on a redundant process.

2. This policy affects those DD Form 214s that are accomplished at AFPC-Total Force Service Center (TFSC), Randolph Air Force Base only.

3. During separation and retirement processing, members receive instructions on how to access, review and print their DD Form 214 as needed. Copies 1 and 4 are housed on the secure server in the vMPF for a period of 60 days past the official retirement/separation effective date. After the 60 days, members are able to obtain copies from the eBenefits website.

4. Members with an approved retirement or separation should retrieve a USERID and password allowing access to the AFPC Secure application. This can be done while still on active-duty by using your CAC and either entering the AF Portal or using the direct AFPC Secure link.

Once at the site, utilize the "Update/Delete Password" tab to generate a new USERID/password. While on terminal leave, the member will be able to access the worksheet and be able to retrieve their DD Form 214 when completed.

5. Those who are not able to use their CAC should contact the A1 Service Desk at 1-800-525-0102, (option "8") or dial DSN 665-5004 and they will provide assistance in obtaining a USERID/password.

6. AFPC point of contact is AFPC/DPSOR ​

Has AFPC sent you your official orders? Then it is time to schedule a final out for your Retirement or Separation. Members can schedule a final out appointment (contact info?). After the appointment is scheduled, members will be sent an outlook calendar invite to remind them of their appointment.

REMINDER: Members must attend their out-processing in uniform. Those members not in uniform will not be allowed to out-process. No exceptions.

Unit awards are granted to military units that distinguish themselves during peacetime or in action against hostile forces or an armed enemy of the United States. These awards are only bestowed on units to recognize acts or services that place the unit's performance significantly above that of other units of similar composition and mission responsibility. The Air Force only grants one award for the same act, achievement, or service. Ensure only 10 percent of similar units assigned to their command are recommended annually. Units can also receive specific awards like the Presidential Unit Citation, Joint Meritorious Unit Award, and other sister service unit awards. These awards are governed by DoD 1348.33-M, Manual of Military Decorations and Awards.

If a member believes a unit they were assigned to earned a unit award, they can visit myPERS Recognition Program Home Page to validate award (website lists unit awards from 1991 – current). Members must be able to prove they were assigned to unit during timeframe, before MilPDS records can be updated.

Units must establish duty status procedures for members going TDY. All Air Force members MUST check-in before and after your TDY with your unit’s orderly room in order for your duty status to be updated.

The Unfavorable Information File (UIF) is an official record of adverse information about an individual. It documents administrative, judicial, or nonjudicial censures concerning the member's performance, responsibility, behavior, etc. The UIF consists of mandatory documents, optional documents (at the commander's discretion), an AF IMT 1058, Unfavorable Information File Actions, and an AF IMT 1137, Unfavorable Information File Summary.

The MPS maintains the UIF (except units that have fully operational CSSs) and all of its documents/contents until the final disposition date; unless early removal of the document or UIF is warranted. Commanders initiate removal action via an AF IMT 1058, or memorandum, and the individual should acknowledge the action.

The Control Roster (CR) is a commander’s rehabilitative tool to establish a 6-month observation period for individuals whose duty performance is substandard, or who fail to meet or maintain Air Force standards of conduct, bearing, and integrity, on or off duty.
