PURPOSE:
To better serve our customers and allow more direct communication between
the members and AFPC, we prepared several webinars on retirement issues that
we will be broadcasting on a recurring basis.


The next scheduled webinar is designed to cover things to consider when
contemplating retirement, the application process, and pertinent data on
benefits and entitlements, retired pay, and so forth.

We've also prepared other webinars which cover how to submit a retirement
application through the virtual MPF, and what to expect once approved. We
will broadcast these briefings on a rotating basis the second Thursday of
every month. The upcoming schedule is as follows:

11 Nov 10 - Retirements-101 for Officers
