Notifications of changes to veterans’ preference eligibility checklist

On 6 Jan 2006, the President signed into Public Law 109-163, the Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2006. This law contains two provisions (sections 1111 and 1112 of Title XI) regarding certain veterans. 

A. The first provision accords veterans’ preference for certain veterans who served on active duty during the period beginning 11 Sep 2001, and ending on the date prescribed by Presidential proclamation or by law as the last date of Operation Iraqi Freedom. This means that anyone who served on active duty for a period of more than 180 consecutive days, any part of which occurred during this period of time, regardless of location, is entitled to veterans’ preference if otherwise eligible. 

B. The second provision clarifies that veterans’ preference eligibility for Federal hiring is available to individuals who have been ?discharged or released from active duty service in the armed forces under honorable conditions? replacing the previous verbage which simple established ?separated from the armed forces under honorable conditions.?

Note regarding DD-214s: The National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) has provided the following website for veterans to gain access to their DD-214 online:http://vetrecs.archives.gov/. This will cut the waiting time veterans have had in the past waiting for copies of their DD-214s and will be particularly helpful when they need a copy of their DD-214 for employment purposes.

New APF external application system and NAF preference information

This concerns the new APF external application system and is NOT related to the new NAF Career program website.
AFPC/DPI is changing how it does business. When the transformation is complete, we will be able to better serve our AF family. One of those changes is in how NAF candidates will apply for APF positions. The current system will be turned off on 4 Sep 07 and folks will need to apply through www.usajobs.gov. All external announcements for APF positions will be posted here. For complete information on the external application procedures, go to the AFPC Employment website at http://ask.afpc.randolph.af.mil/civemploy

Everyone will need to create their resume at this site. When you apply for a job, in addition to your resume, you may have to answer a series of competency questions concerning qualifying experience/education. You will also have to supply documents to verify eligibility PRIOR to being referred. If not provided, you will not be referred. 

The following statement will be posted on all announcements open to NAF candidates: 

“Non-Appropriated Fund (NAF) – I am currently serving on a NAFI or Army Air Force Exchange Services (AAFES) position without time limitation, or I have been involuntarily separated from such an appointment without personal cause within the preceding year; AND, I have been serving/or served in such a position continuously for at least one year. (NOTE: If you indicate ?yes? for this question, you MUST submit a copy of your most recent personnel action form and a prior personnel action form which will reflect at least one year of continuous service as a NAF/AAFES employee along with your application/resume package.)”
