STEP 1: INITIAL ASSIGNMENT BRIEFING AND OUTBOUND ASSIGNMENTS
NOTIFICATION EMAIL
Upon receiving email notification from AFPC, log into virtual MPF to complete notification action and
accomplish your Initial Assignment Briefing. Read and review all pages of the briefing. Print and retain
page 8 of the briefing to submit to your assignment counselor.
Outbound Assignments will attach any additional assignment requirements (i.e. Personnel Processing
Codes [PPC], retainability, etc.) if they are applicable to you.
Individuals with assignments to short tour locations maybe eligible to apply for a follow-on assignment
and need to submit follow-on application within 15 days of acknowledging the assignment via vMPF selfservice actions.
NOTE FOR ENLISTED: Failure to obtain retainability within the 30 days of assignment notification
can result in the cancellation of your assignment by the Total Force Service Center (TFSC).
STEP 2: PCS ORDERS
Provide all requirements listed below under “Orders Requirements” for your applicable assignment type
(CONUS, Overseas, etc.), including any Personnel Processing Code (PPC) items and retainability
requirements, to the MPS Outbound Assignments section for PCS orders. Deliver completed documents
to the Outbound Assignments section NET150 day NLT 90 days prior to RNLTD or DEROS.
Once processed by the MPS, your orders are submitted to the Total Force Service Center (TFSC) for final
approval. The TFSC approves orders NET 120 days prior to Projected Departure Date (PDD). You will
receive email notification when your orders have been authenticated by TFSC and are available via your
vMPF account.
STEP 3: TRAVEL RESERVATIONS
Make travel reservations upon receipt of your PCS orders. Submit a port call request form and a copy of
your PCS orders to [email protected]
Use the following format in the subject line: Port Call Request – Last Name, First Name (RNLTD).
NOTE: Airmen with approved Circuitous Travel do not need to submit a port call request. Contact
Commercial Travel Office (CTO) to reserve departure flight.
STEP 4: VIRTUAL OUTPROCESSING CHECKLIST
After you have received your orders, the Outbound Assignments section will load your virtual
Outprocessing (vOP) Checklist. The checklist can be found within the “Outprocessing” section in your
vMPF account. Base and squadron agencies must provide virtual checks. An item with a Red “X” and
signature are not accepted. Agencies can provide an outprocessing document with your signature element
or stamp and an agency representative signature. Unit outprocessing checklists can be electronic or
hardcopy; contact your unit to verify outprocessing requirements.
STEP 5: SCHEDULE FINAL OUTPROCESSING APPOINTMENT
Once you receive your orders, your assignment counselor will send a calendar invite scheduling
your final out appointment (based off the PDD you provided). Please ensure that you review and
complete all attachments that are provided in the calendar invite.
STEP 6: FINAL OUTPROCESSING APPOINTMENT (UNIFORM MANDATORY)
Review the items attached in the calendar invite as they are mandatory at your final outprocessing
appointment. Missing items and/or missing the scheduled appointment time, may risk cancellation of your
departure flight and/or rescheduling of your outprocessing appointment.
NOTE: The Outbound Assignment section will cancel flights and reschedule outprocessing
appointments due to missing requirements. Failure to turn in documents will delay orders processing
and final PCS departure. Incomplete checklists results in rescheduled departure flights.
**PLEASE NOTE:**
Your Final out-processing appointment is a
MANDATORY appointment. Members are NOT
AUTHORIZED to depart their duty station without
approval from your servicing MPS. All documents are
required to be presented at your final out appointment and
cannot be waived. If you fail to show up to your

and your Commander/First Sergeant will be notified.
