Can you explain how applying for retroactive joint credit will work?
An important provision in the Joint Qualification System is that members can apply for retroactive joint credit. This applies to both active and reserve forces ... however, the timeframe for reservists extends further back - to implementation of Goldwaters-Nichols Act (1986). The retroactive provision for joint experience will run from Oct. 1, 2007, to Sept. 30, 2010. After that time a reserve component Airmen may not be eligible to self-nominate their past experiences. Experience gained after Oct. 1, 2007, will need to be submitted for consideration within one year from date of return.
Has the awards and decorations process changed?
Yes.
Individual mobilization augmentees, unit and participating reservists are now able to submit decoration nominations online. Decorations currently eligible for online application include the Meritorious Service Medal, Air Force Commendation Medal, Air Force Achievement Medal and the Aerial Achievement Medal. Unit commanders assigned to Air Force Reserve Command can also request update of the Combat Readiness Medal, revoke a pending decoration or deny an Air Reserve Forces Meritorious Service Medal on the vPC-GR and then select Awards and Decorations.
How do I access the online decoration application?
Airmen can access the online decoration application via the vPC-GR. They must have an active account to access this Reserve portal.
Where does a specific decoration or award fall in order of precedence?
Awards and decorations are listed in order of precedence from highest to lowest online at the Air Force Personnel Center.
