  9. T-ODP • Communication Tool to the DT • Formalizes commander involvement • Mandatory for all officers below O-6 • Outdated comments are a significant issue in Force Development actions • Assignment matching WILL start with or without a T-ODP – it’s your chance to voice your preferences • No or Out-dated T-ODP = “world-wide volunteer” • No or Out-dated T-ODP = not considered for AFIT or PME • No or Out-dated T-ODP = not considered for Sq/CC • No SGB volunteer statement in T-ODP = not considered

  10. Mentorship • Assure information in SURF is correct & current • Review your records--with a senior officer • Do Your PME • Talk to your rater about your goals--and OPR recs • Be certain to broaden your leadership experiences • As Capt show at least wing-wide impact • As Maj at least MAJCOM- or even better AF-wide impact • As Lt Col show AF- or even better DoD-wide impact

  11. Mentorship • Sq/CC difficult for 43M’s?? • Sq/CC = Division Chief?? • Perhaps possible in AFRL • Always try for PME in residence • Go for every opportunity to compete your record Sq/CC, AFIT, Fellowship, SGB, resident PME • Standard: one special duty assignment/career • SGB?? (USAFSAM, AFRL perhaps) “I am a candidate for BSC Executive” • Obtain Board Certification ???

  19. Assignment Changes • Caveat—If PCS quota available: • 1st Tour Officers • First tour officers (Lts or Capts with <4 yrs commission time) • 36 month TOS required for CONUS to CONUS move • Although eligible, quota for PCS may not be available • Must-movers go first • TOS and PME/AFIT • Selects must have 24 months TOS prior to departure date • Waivers accepted for 2007 selectees • Time in Area policy suspended • Tour length restrictions lifted for DC-area, San Antonio, and Colorado Springs

  22. Impact • Quota • Each division of AFPC given strict quota • Must live within this allocation • Some moves already under way when policy released • Taken off the top from the allocated quota • Less quotas available to use • “Must Move” category prioritized • Requirements vs Quota • Quota is the driving factor

  23. Priorities • Prioritized Must-Movers • 1. Officers with 2007 DEROS • 2. DEROS backfills • 3. Inbound squadron commanders • 4. Graduating squadron commanders • 5. Backfill for inbound squadron commanders • 6. Critical backfill for retirements and/or separations • 7.
