Q: Once I have met the knowledge and performance
requirements for a particular technician rating,
what needs to be signed to get that processed and
recorded at National Headquarters?
A: Specialty Tracks Online: Professional
development officers, personnel officers,
administrative officers, vice commanders and
commanders may request updates to specialty track
assignments and ratings through e-Services. Unit
commanders must approve these requests and the
member’s record will be automatically updated.
Q: For the purpose of meeting the requirements of
Level III, what documentation/evidence is required
to prove attendance at a wing/region/national
conference?
A: For conference attendance and other
requirements, the unit professional development
officer enters the data and the unit commander
certifies completion of the requirements for Levels
II-V on CAP Form 45B, Senior Member Professional
Development Record. Credit for attendance at a
conference might be verified by a registration form
or other proof such as a conference schedule which
shows the member made a presentation, received an
award in person (picture) or otherwise showed proof
of attendance. For former cadets, CAPF 66 Cadet
Master Record might be used to certify credit for
attendance at conferences.
Upon return from a conference, CAP members should
notify the professional development officer or
personnel officer so that attendance can be credited
on their CAP Form 45B.
You must Attend two conferences (wing, region, or
national - any mix) for level III.
Q: Are there any new specialty tracks available?
A: Yes. Last year, two new tracks were added:
Career Track 227 - Information Technology Officer
(ITO)
http://level2.cap.gov/documents/P227.pdf
The Information Technology Officer (ITO) should be
familiar with CAPR 110-1 - Internet Operations as
well as any current policies regarding operational
security (OPSEC) awareness training, and Information
Security (INFOSEC). The ITO needs to work through
the requirements specified in CAPP 227 - Information
Technology Officer Specialty Track, and be familiar
with all related publications for National
e-Services applications. For the Technician rating,
the candidate must also pass an online test (open
book).
Career Track 228 - Drug Demand Officer
http://level2.cap.gov/documents/P228.pdf
Individuals must use CAPP 228 - The Drug Demand
Reduction Officer Specialty Track Study Guide for
progressing to the entry level of Technician to the
intermediate level of Senior and the highest rating
of Master. The technician level certifies the
individual as knowing basic information to use in
performing duty as a Drug Demand Reduction Officer
at the squadron level.
Q: Will my previous military training (I attended
the NCO Leadership school) be a substitute for the
AFIADL (ECI) 0013 course?
A: The NCO Leadership School does not qualify
as equivalent to the AFIADL Senior Officer
Course. You would need to have attended the NCO
Academy or higher PME to receive credit for AFIADL
13, CAP Senior Officer Course. To receive credit,
submit a copy of your diploma or completion
certificate to the professional development
registrar at CAP. *Note that equivalencies must be
no older than 20 years from the time of initial
application.
