Changes to the Air Force officer assignment system allow for more flexibility and give officers a greater say in their career development, Air Force personnel officials say. "We are committed to provide a system which is less provides greater individual choice and responds to officers' career goals," said Col. Timothy Titus, director of assignments at the Air Force Military Personnel Center. "This new 'customer-orienteassignment system identifies openings, advertises the openings on an electronic bulletin board and then fills those openings with rule-drive- n, d' volunteers." An assignments opportunities listing is available on electronic bulletin boards for those units which are already hooked up to the pilot retention hotline.

The old assignment system was consistently identified as an irritant in surveys completed by officers leaving the Air Force. Over the past few years, about half of those surveyed said the assignment system was their primary source of irritation. Chief complaints cite an inflexible, system which does not allow an individual any say in assignment decisions. "We're listening, and we realize the system needs to change," Titus said. That change starts with a new assignment philosophy. "The new philosophy is simple there's a volunteer for every assignment," the colonel said. "Our job is to let people know where these open jobs are and to match individual career aspirations with rule-drive- n these openings." Old rules modified The old system worked with a set of rules for assignments that were "really inflexible," he said. "For instance, we used to move people after a three-yea- r tour, give or take a day, regardless of their desires." Career decisions didn't allow for much more flexibility. "We managed flying careers by having every Rene Ewing. 1:30-2:4- 5 a.m. and p.m. one fill the same type of positions, regardless of their goals." The new system gives people more choices. "We're telling people, 'It's your career set your sights and become an expert at your current job to lay a foundation for your next job,' " Titus said. But the new system will not be a he cautioned. "Assignment decisions must still pass a sanity check," the colonel said. requirements will still be restricted due to funding. Also, overseas tour lengths will remain the same to provide stability and continuity for those units. free-for-al- l, Time-on-stati- on Performance still key to jobs People won't be moved unless there is an opening, and jobs will be filled by people with the right amount of experience and at the right time. "Performance is still the key, and commanders will continue to provide recommendations to help people with their career planning," Titus said. "The main point about assignments in the Air Force is listening, and we are improving the quality of the system. If we don't do it, call the AFMPC hotline at DSM and the commander will see to it you get an answer." 2nd Lt. Maureen Glenn from CPBO is giving a briefing on the system and the electronic bulletin board at the Poe Conference Center today at 8:30 and 10 a.m., 1 and 2:30 p.m.; and again Tuesday at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Questions regarding this new system should be directed to Glenn at Ext. 53316 or 76976. 487-547- 5 |
