What if I find errors in the PIR?

What else should I know about the PIR?
• The PIR for the PHS may differ from the Officer Information Summary (OIS) used by other agencies.
• OCCO does not currently update the OIS so be sure you are reviewing the PIR before you submit changes.
• Officers who have prior military service are strongly encouraged to verify that the miliary service time on the PIR is correct, as prior military service is a factor in determining your total time in service to the PHS.
