DIMHRS (Pers/Pay) will provide each Service member with a single, comprehensive record-of-service that will be available to the Service member, allowing individuals to update select personal information. The personnel records will be available to Service personnel chiefs, Combatant Commanders, military personnel and pay managers and other authorized users.
