Once AFPC/DPANM reviews an initial RILO, how do they notify the physical evaluation board liaison officer (PEBLO) of the determination?

• A. AFPC/FL 4
• B. E-mail from the organizational box
• C. Official memorandum
• D. AF Form 356

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is how the Air Force communicates the outcome of an initial RILO review to the PEBLO in a formal, traceable way. AFPC/FL 4 is the designated formal notification document used to inform the PEBLO of the determination. Using this specific form ensures the message is properly documented in the member’s record, routed through the correct offices, and includes all necessary details such as the determination and any required follow-up actions. This standardization helps maintain consistency and accountability across cases.

An email from the organizational box is informal and may not be captured as an official action in the personnel system. An official memorandum can be used in other contexts, but the established practice for notifying the PEBLO of an RILO determination is through the designated form to ensure formal documentation. AF Form 356 is associated with a different process and is not the standard instrument for this notification.
