RIO Buzz Vol. 11
Hello! I’m excited for this Buzz since I can debut information about our survey. Read on for info on that and more in this edition of the buzz …
I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU
Last week we kicked off a survey called “Making it Easier to Serve. You can access the survey at this link:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HQRIOEastToServeBuzz
On average it’s taking members just over ten minutes to fill out the survey. The feedback you provide is vital to our efforts here at HQ RIO, so please take a few moments to let your voice be heard. The survey is anonymous, and it functions on a smartphone, personal computer, and government computer (using Edge or Chrome.) It will remain open for responses through 13 August.
VIRTUAL TRAINING CONTINUES
Did you check out the training we did last week on how to access all the websites necessary for you to serve? We covered Desktop Anywhere, Webmail, myPers, ARCNet, UTAPS, AROWS-R, and more. It was extremely valuable training and furthers my goal of improving our communication with Individual Reservists.
Our next training session will cover all things related to Reserve Pay and will be held at 1200 EDT/1000 MDT on Friday, 31 July.
All the links to the training videos as well as slides, handouts, and post-training surveys are on our website: https://www.arpc.afrc.af.mil/hqrio/training.aspx.
MAKE SURE YOUR UTAPS FOR THIS FY IS CORRECT
While we ask that you have your IDTs in UTAPS very early in the year, but we also know that plans change. If you haven’t already completed your IDTs for this FY, please go into UTAPS and check to make sure the dates that are loaded on the calendar are accurate and have your supervisor approve them. AFRC needs to lock in this information for budgeting purposes.
That’s the buzz for now. Thanks for ALL you do!
v/r,
Col Amy Boehle, HQ RIO Commander
