ARPC moves to vPCGR

Air Force and Department of Defense officials have mandated centralization of personnel functions in all branches of the military. The Air Reserve Personnel Center has developed a way for Air Force Reservists to handle their own personnel needs through the virtual-Personnel Center, Guard and Reserve portal, or vPCGR. It will replace some in-person visits to the local military personnel flight's office. (Photo Illustration/Maj. David Kurle)
