Did you know? Civilian employment registration Published Aug. 27, 2009 Public Affairs DOBBINS AIR RESERVE BASE, Ga. -- All Reservists must annually register information about their civilian employer and job skills on the Department of Defense Civilian Employer Information Web site. By federal law, DOD is required to give consideration to civilian employment necessary to maintain national health, safety and interest when considering members for recall as well as ensure that members with critical civilian skills are not retained in numbers beyond what is needed for those skills. Additionally, CEI data helps facilitate open communications between the DOD and civilian employers of Guard and Reserve service members to inform servicemembers and employers of their rights, benefits and obligations. DOD's goal is 95 percent registration by the end of September. Registration takes less than five minutes and is required annually, even if a Reservist is an air reserve technician, has no civilian employer or hasn't changed jobs in the past year.
