Notes on AFH-1, 15 Feb 2025, Chapter 11, Personnel Programs and Benefits
19 Feb 2025. The Air Force Study Guide Website posted a new version of the Air Force Handbook, dated 15 February 2025, which contains changes in nearly every chapter. This website will be updated to include those changes by 23 February. While changes are being made in the background, the site may still be used.
Chapter 11 of the 1 Nov 2024 edition and the 15 Feb 2025 edition were compared and there were no changes. This chapter is up to date with the latest content.
27 Jan 2025. The site has been updated to include the new requirements listed in the 2025 E-5 WAPS catalog. Chapter 11 was added and Chapter 16 was removed from the E-5 practice test. Good luck!
22 Jan 25. The E-5 WAPS Catalog for the 2025 cycle was posted on the official Air Force website. It identifies the chapters of the Air Force Handbook required for study: 1, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14, 15, 18, 19, 20, 22, and 24. These are the same chapters required for promotion to E-6 except that Chapter 11, Personnel Programs and Benefits, was added and Chapter 16, Developing Ideas, was removed. It will take a few days to update the site so that the study content for promotion to E-5 is current. It should be done by 30 January. The content for study for promotion to E-6 is accurate now.
6 Dec 2024. A new edition of the Air Force Handbook, dated 1 November 2024, was posted on the Air Force's official website. A note beneath it stated that study guides will not be issued for the 2025 E-5 and E-6 testing cycles. The Air Force Handbook will be the PFE source to study for promotion to E-5 and E-6.
The 2025 E-6 WAPS catalog (formerly referred to as EPRRC) states that only chapters 1, 5, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 22, and 24 are testable. In addition, according to the ADTC in the new Air Force Handbook, all sections in these testable chapters are required for study. The 2025 E-5 WAPS catalog has not been issued yet and is expected to be available on 1 February 2025.
