 New

The
introduction of PMKeyS will see Posting Orders being released in
a new format. The following points highlight the differences between
the new posting orders and those that officers are used to receiving.
-
All message indicators are now contained in line format as opposed
to being contained in tables as headers and footers.
-
The subject line does not include the officer's name.
- Posting
Order includes the following:
-
PMKeyS Employee number, not a service number.
- Gender.
- Service
and Service Type. The following codes are used in this field:
REG
– for ARA officers,
RES for ARes officers, and
CFTS for officers in full-time service.

and is not needed for officers to arrange posting action. It is
the PMKeyS management group under which officers are administered.
