MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala. -- 
Every year, there is a request to complete an update to your Civilian Employment Information (CEI) record. This data helps to protect you in times of mobilization.
According to the CEI site, "The collection of civilian employer information facilitates open communications between the Department of Defense and the civilian employers of Guard and Reserve service members to inform service members and employers of their rights, benefits, and obligations.
Reporting your CEI not only influences your chances of being called to active duty, it is used to determine whether your unit or unit members should be mobilized, as well as to ensure that you aren’t on active duty beyond the time the Department of Defense needs you to serve. It also provides NGB Employer Support with information that can make helping you through employment issues much easier..."
Life in the Air Force Reserve can get busy, but you must remember that this is a mandatory requirement for all of us to do each year. Please update your information each year during your birthday month to ensure your CEI data is updated on an annual basis.
Meeting this requirement enables you to remain current on this vital readiness task.
