Future budget plans that are currently in place should cover much of the cost of JRR implementation, however there was a lot of discussion about what to do if congressional budgets change or fall short. Future Force 21, a study about maintaining and adjusting our legacy Human Resources systems while simultaneously creating the foundation for tomorrow's systems should overlap with JRR implementation. The JRR team thinks that JRR implementation fits well with the FF-21 study. Aviation workforce restructuring came at a cost that far exceeded original projections. Leadership does not want to repeat a process that hurts the workforce or underestimates the costs.
Skills based assignments are an essential element of successful implementation.
PeopleSoft human resources management software is just beginning to be implemented and provides a means of tracking qualifications to help detailers match skill sets to jobs. The AO will review the records of individuals who will advance to BMC during CY01 and have not received orders to a BMC billet. The AO will call members who are qualified for these positions before the 01 April. As in past years, qualified members who desire to be screened for assignment to OIC positions will submit packages to the Panel for consideration. A sample package will be prepared which will be posted on the CGPC web site.
