We’ve received a lot of questions as to how reservists can schedule a counseling session with the team. Members can review their points history, RCSBP selections, project retirement base pay, and more! Please share the QR code with someone in your world that could benefit from a review!
We encourage both active reservists nearing their 20 year mark and gray area retirees within a year of applying for retirement pay to complete a one on one session with our team. If you are unable to access myFSS with the QR code please email [email protected] for scheduling.

💥The PDC was rocking last week!💥
About 40 Additional Duty First Sergeants filled the Professional Development Center for a week-long symposium, guided by experienced First Sergeant mentors who poured their wisdom, stories, and lessons into the next generation of leaders.
The week was packed with interactive workshops, dynamic discussions, and expert briefings from base subject matter experts. Every moment designed to strengthen leadership, connection, and readiness.
These Diamonds brought incredible energy, insight, and heart to the week, reminding us what it truly means to take care of Airmen.

✈️Behind the PDC — Faces of Dedication✈️
In the midst of the government shutdown, we’re reminded just how much the Professional Development Center depends on the incredible people behind it — our civilian and military teammates who pour their passion and expertise into shaping the future of our Citizen Airmen.
These are the professionals who design and teach the courses that develop leaders across the Air Force Reserve. They don’t just manage classrooms and schedules — they mentor, innovate, and build better Airmen, better teams, and a stronger force.
When you see a course on your calendar, know there’s a team behind it: course managers, curriculum experts, planners, facilitators, and leaders — all committed to making every event impactful and relevant.
📸 Meet the team behind the mission.
Don’t ask about our scores. 😉

Foundations Program Manager Training Was a Success!
Last week, some of your Foundations Program Managers came together at the Professional Development Center for a powerful week of training.
The focus?
✅ Program Management Skills
✅ Facilitation Tips and Tricks
✅ Sharing benchmark processes to take back to wings
✅ Most importantly - networking and collaboration across the command
These leaders are now better equipped to get after development and ensure our Airmen have strong, consistent Foundations courses at their wings. 💪
Huge thanks to everyone who stepped up to lead this valuable program. Your commitment is shaping the future of Enlisted Force Development across AFRC!

It was a true honor and privilege to host the CMSgt Orientation Course last week. Our newest Chiefs came together with open minds and hearts, learning not only from the curriculum but also from one another’s experiences and perspectives.
Their commitment to growth, humility in sharing, and their pride in serving remind us why this work matters so deeply.
The excellence they will bring back to their Airmen and organizations will be felt far beyond the classroom. 🇺🇸💪✨✈️📚🙌
