The civilian application window opened March 14 and applications are due to AFPC by May 1, according to Loretta Brown, AFPC civilian leadership development chief. Civilian applicants must be nominated by their local leadership for CDE. Officer and civilian selections will be announced in November. Various opportunities exist for those interested in continued growth and leadership, said Bogany. Intermediate programs include the Air Command and Staff College, Air Force Institute of Technology, international services program opportunities, a variety of fellowship and internship programs and more. Senior programs include Air Force and defense fellowships, Army War College, Air Command and Staff College with an Air War College follow-on, international services senior development program opportunities and more. Requirements and eligibility vary depending on the program, and submission requirements differ for officers and civilians, so applicants should carefully review the program guide, available on the myPers website, before preparing application documents. Officer Process Officers apply for developmental education using the AFPC secure webbased 3849 form, which is accessible via the myPers website. Eligible officers and their senior raters will have access to the form March 25-April 22. "If you haven't updated your AFPC secure account within the last 120 days, you'll need to re-establish the password and register your common access card to be able to complete your 3849," Bogany said. Officers must be nominated by whoever their senior rater was on Feb. 1, even if the applicant has since changed station or will change station before the application window closes. Senior raters who do not have a secure account or who have not accessed their account within the past 120 days also need to update the access information. Once in the secure site, applicants must identify "The Air Force has an ongoing need for capable leaders and will continue to develop current and future Airmen — civilian and military — to expand their knowledge and increase their understanding of the role they play in national security. Developmental education enables us to develop those leaders, and positively impacts retention efforts, as well." 4 LORETTA BROWN AFPC civilian leadership development chief the education preferences in priority order. Applicants may request in-residence and equivalency programs, but must prioritize those as well. IDE equivalency credit can be awarded for some PhD and master's degrees through the Air Force Institute of Technology, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force Captains' Prestigious PhD program, Olmsted scholars and White House fellows programs and a variety of other options. SDE equivalence credit is also possible through such PhD and fellowship programs. Eligible officers may request that credit on the 3849 during the IDE or SDE eligibility window. School of Advanced Air and Space Studies program graduates of the School of Advanced Military Studies, the School of Advanced Warfighting and the Maritime Advanced Warfighting School who are pursuing a faculty development SAASS-sponsored PhD may request SDE equivalency credit upon successful completion of comprehensive exams and admission to PhD candidacy under the terms of the school they are attending, if they are "all-but-disser- tation" complete, Bogany said. Officers selected for IDE or SDE will incur a three-year active duty service commitment, and officers who do not successfully complete their program will incur a twoyear ADSC.
