Air Force Reserve members worldwide can now correct or change their duty history via the virtual Personnel Center Guard and Reserve, a customer-service Web portal operated by the Air Reserve Personnel Center.

Previously, Airmen had to visit their local military personnel flight or call several agencies to correct their duty history. Now, no matter the time of day, reservists can log on to the vPC-GR at http://arpc.afrc.af.mil/support/default.asp.

Airmen can click on the “Correct Duty History” link and annotate their changes, attach any relevant supporting documentation and click on “submit.”

There is no change to the process for updating current duty information; it still must be done through the local commander’s support staff or base individual mobilization augmentee administrators.

ARPC and the Air Force Personnel Center are working on centralizing and automating many of their processes for all Airmen and civilians in the total force.

Processes that have been automated or centralized at ARPC include 20-year letter (re-issue), mortgage letter, current points request, promotion board counseling request, and electronic promotion letter to the board president.

In the future, automated and centralized services should account for nearly all aspects of an Airman’s personnel actions, from initial enlistment to retirement. Between now and Sept. 1, 2007, ARPC will work to automate or centralize retirements, separations, awards and decorations, evaluations, enlisted promotions, assignments, retraining, reenlistments, duty status, classifications, adverse actions and accessions.
