EFMP-M | Separation/Retirement Clearance | In-Service/Palace Front

The EFMP (Exceptional Family Member Program) is used to assess, document, and code the special education and medical needs of family members.

    A very brief description of the assignment process. TLDR; The Air Force's priority is cycling people through OCONUS spots and back, and also through special duty spots and back to regular AF duties. Most assignment actions happen due to one of these. If you want to get an assignment, then volunteer for OCONUS and/or apply for special assignments.

  4. Just got an assignment notification. The email is instructing me

    Go to vMPF and the initial assignment briefing is on there. It is one the absolute dumbest things the Air Force does. Rather than actually populating useful information about your assignment based on the assignment itself and loading info from the PPCs, it it very generic and is like "what kind of assignment do you have?"

    Do the briefing on vMPF, then in page 7, print the hyperlinked memos and start knocking them out. No point in doing it early. Just wait on the official notification.

  15. Tour lengths increase for certain first-term overseas assignments

    The new tour length provides the unit with more time to train and develop the service member, and it provides stability during the member's first few years in the Department of the Air Force, Kelly said. During the initial assignment briefing, orders officials will inform affected members of the new 36-month tour length.
