AFIADL Results

[Tubacap]

A question to the older and wiser crew.  How long does it usually take to get results back from AU for the AFIADL 13 exam?

[afgeo4]

Mine took about 3 weeks.

[IceNine]

It is usually relatively fast for a gov't operation.  Mine came in just under 2 weeks, but I've seen them take upwards of a month and a half.

I'd say if you don't have anything back within 2 months at the absolute latest to start asking questions.

Now, the data being input into E-services is a whole different story.  the way I understand it CAP only gets a data report from AETC once a month.  So if you need CAPSOC posted sooner (i.e. for Capt) you will need to scan and email the certificate to NHQ.

Best of luck

Thanks!

It may take a while, I scratched your name
off and wrote mine in before Roy left that night.

GRRRR!!!  Five attempts at taking the exam would not be fun!

(Please note, I have only actually physically seen the exam once, I've scheduled it four times, but it has mysteriously disappeared into the great paperwork hole of the universe.)

Oh, the great paperwork blackhole?  Yeah, we've got one of those, too.  Obnioxus, isn't it?

[Tubacap]

Makes me want to thrash.

Isn't that typically known as Wing HQ?

[Tubacap]

So, I emailed my TCO on the date he asked me to email him.  He emailed AFIADL, and they got back to me within a day.  I PASSED!!! WOOHOO!  Only two years into the road, but the good news is, is that I passed!

Sweet...  Now to get it all submitted into National!

[Psicorp]

Congrats!  Now on to the next course. 

[Tubacap]

^Actually, has anyone taken the SOS course since the new testing came out?  I'm not entirely thrilled about getting down to FTIG (2.5 hour drive) for each of the exams.  Do National Guard Readiness Centers have access to online testing?

[arajca]

You'd have to check with the center. You can take test at the unit IF you can get your state director to approve the appropriate personnel. If you have a CAPRAP, it should be easy...

Congrats Will,

I just got my 13 in the mail today, so lets hope the
criminals go easy on me for a couple of weeks so I
can study !

[Tubacap]

^criminals or cadets?

[W3ZR]

^criminals or cadets?

What the difference ?    Nah I mean in employment land.

Thanks for the use of your Cadet this week, I put her to work !   

[Tubacap]

no problem

As a warmup for SOS I would suggest everyone enroll in the AFRes Officer Prep Course. Some of it may seem familiar to the CAPSOC, and its a good introduction to the On-base testing setup.

[Tubacap]

^have you taken it?  What is the curriculum like?  Is it applicable?  What are the advantages to taking it over just going straight to SOS?

Sorry, I really enjoy the PD program now that I am, well advancing in it.

[SAR-EMT1]

Ive taken it. The best I can describe it is that it is the USAF version of CAPSOC. They have sections on history, military law, leadership etc...

It is longer then the CAPSOC but as I say the material is similar so that the learning curve heading towards SOS is more of a gentle curve then a sharp rise. You will take the test at an AFB Ed Center.

If you want an intermediate step between CAPSOC and SOS take the course.
