PCS orders process streamlined for civilian employees Published June 4, 2004 RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFPN) -- Permanent change-of-station orders for Air Force civilians moving under the career program are now being prepared by Air Force Personnel Center officials here in an effort to simplify and streamline the process for getting orders to the employees.The majority of moves funded by the central PCS account are for career program positions; but the account also pays for moving senior executive service employees and returnees from overseas assignments."The preparation of all centrally funded PCS orders ... is just the first step in a continuous effort to streamline and consolidate the process," said Ms. Elinor Gonzales, deputy director of civilian career management here.By eliminating extra steps in the process, AFPC officials have shortened the time for an employee to get his or her orders. There are also steps that managers and employees can take to expedite orders.Quickly negotiating a realistic reporting date and returning information forms promptly will help ensure employees have their orders in time for a successful move, Ms Gonzales said.For more information, contact the local civilian personnel flight or visit the AFPC Web site at www.afpc.randolph.af.mil/dpc/pcs/pcs.htm.
