AFI Crosswalk of A1 Regulations

I realize this site is devoted to Financial Management news, but we often work side-by-side with personnel and it’s important to at least be familiar with their regs and their recent changes.

To comply with the Secretary of the Air Force’s Publication Reduction Initiative, the A1 Community reviewed 383 directive publications.  The team revised or rescinded outdated publications or those inconsistent with other documents, and consolidated information from like programs to create an A1 library of only 160 publications.  This new library pushes decision making to lowest levels possible, allowing Airmen to use good judgment in accomplishing the mission and reviving a culture of centralized mission direction and decentralized execution.  In response to your concerns, the A1X Pubs Cell updated the attached Pubs crosswalk to bridge the historical publication numbers and current/future publications.

This message and others can be found on the A1 SharePoint.

AFRC/A1 Using Power BI for CUBE Data

I’m trying to highlight folks around the Air Force that are using Power BI. It’s gaining traction and it helps to see how other careerfields are displaying their data.

Here are a few of the data points they’re capturing:

  • Authorized vs Assigned Skill Level
  • Bonus Trends Reenlistment-Retrain
  • Career Field Health Slides
  • Commander Update Brief
  • CUBE Data Slicer Table
  • Fuse BI
  • Hist Retention
  • Retention Deep Dive

You can access the Power BI data set at https://bi.afrc.af.mil/reports/browse/A1Folder. Send questions or request access from AFRC/A1RI, Issues & Analysis Branch.

Changes to Financial Management Duty Titles (Officer & Enlisted)

In 2017, Ms. Thomas sent out a memo standardizing duty titles for FM Officers and Enlisted Airmen in an effort to provide consistency among the various organizations in which we serve.  Since that memo was signed, there have been some changes in the requirements for our duty titles and in the promotion systems for both Officers and Enlisted.  Because of these changes, Mr. Hartley signed the attached duty title memo.  This memo updates approved duty titles to include officers serving in the acquisition community, where we have lacked standardization up to this point.

Standardized duty titles allow us to quickly describe career paths to promotion and other cross-functional boards that may not have any FM representation on them.  Today, we have 541 O-5s and below in FM, with 327 unique duty titles in use – over half the career field.  The numbers aren’t better on the enlisted side. 

Because of this need, the attached memo requires all members have a compliant duty title by 28 February 2020.  Please work with your local CSS/MPS staff to review your records, and those of your Airmen, to ensure their duty titles match those on the approved duty title memo.  If you have any specific questions, please contact the Officer Assignment Team (Officer Duty Titles) or your MAJCOM Chief Enlisted Managers (Enlisted Duty Title).
