MilPDS update
The Air Force is upgrading the Military Personnel Data System. The current version is no longer a supportable platform and is being upgraded. The upgrade will start March 4 and is expected to take 23 days. During that time, MilPDS will not be accessible. Several essential personnel and pay systems, education and training systems, and transactional applications will be impacted during the downtime because they rely on data in MilPDS. The process for an in-place base of preference application is today. If applying for re-enlistment/extension or separation, updating your Service Group Life Insurance and submitting voluntary retraining applications need to be submitted by Feb. 15. For details, call the reenlistments office at 480-5898, and separations office at 480-5539.
