Air Force officials announced a recent change to the permissive permanent change of station (PCS) policy. The permissive PCS program will be discontinued. Meanwhile, the time on station requirement for government funded join-spouse assignments, where the Air Force assigns military couples (when possible) to a location where they can live in the same residence, changed from 24 to 12 months. The other PCS change involves recent adjustments in manning requirements for Airmen at stateside bases, which is expected to open up more base-of-preference opportunities for first-term and career Airmen. For more information, call the 24-hour Total Force Service Center at 800-525-0102.
