Administrative Services at the Air Force Personnel Center

Administrative support consists of acquiring administrative supplies for civilian personnel folder maintenance, picking up and delivery of mail for each section, transmitting and receiving messages to Air Force locations as needed.

Postal operations consist of processing of incoming and outgoing mail which includes official and accountable mail, and transmitting and receiving Defense Messaging Systems electronic messages.

Forms management consists of administrative form designing from an existing or new requirement, maintaining record sets for developed/redeveloped forms, and preparing reports on form development.
