ANDERSEN AIR FORCE BASE, Guam --  An Air Force Personnel Center "Spread the Word" briefing team arrives at Andersen Air Force Base Aug. 3 to provide insight into AFPC policy and personnel issues for Airmen and civilians.

Two All Call briefings are scheduled for Aug. 3 at the base theater at 8:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. All Airmen and civilians are encouraged to attend.

"One of the Air Force's top priorities is to develop and care for our Air Force people, and we want to hear from you about what works and what we can improve," said Maj. Gen. K.C. McClain, AFPC commander. "Our AFPC teams look forward to sharing useful information with you and receiving feedback on what's important to you."

The briefings provide information on personnel issues and delivery transformation, as well as allow all Air Force members direct, face-to-face contact with AFPC personnel to address concerns and provide feedback.

Everyone has at least one type of personnel question, whether it be about an assignment, career, enlisted performance reports or officer performance reports, promotion testing or any other issue that needs to be resolved, said Capt. Brian Burnham, 36th Force Support Squadron operations officer. Most questions can be answered by the FSS, but the briefing team can provide deeper insight on any specific questions Airmen or civilians may have.

Specific topics covered in the Spread the Word briefings will include, among others, 365-day deployment options, the Global AEF tempo-banding system, civilian hiring procedures, and assignment processes. The teams also include military and civilian assignments experts, as well as deployment experts, who will be available for questions after each Spread the Word briefing session.

Captain Burnham urges all Airmen and civilians to take advantage of this unique opportunity to make their voice heard.

"Your career is your responsibility," Captain Burnham said. "Whether it's making it to a [promotion test] on time or finding out where your next job is going to be, it's your responsibility to make sure your records are straight. We're here to help you, but ultimately, it's [up to you] to make sure your career stays on track."
