Forms, How to and What to use

[CadetProgramGuy]

Thinking through my own personal flow of paperwork I saw there was no topic on how to, and what forms to fill out for their specific purpose.

So hence I thought of CAPTalk.

For instance:

Upgrading specialty tracks....What form do I use?

[RiverAux]

Are you talking about a form to propose updating a specialty track?  No such thing.  Official memo would be the way to go.

Not exactly.....I am upgrading from CP Technician to CP Senior ratings.

What form do i fill out?

See...this is the reason for this topic.  There has to be someone else out there just as confused.

You can use a CAPF 2 (Request for Promotion Action). Fill in the speciality track info in section II of the form, have your CC sign it, & e-mail it to NHQ (lmmeforms@cap.gov). They will update the database to reflect the new rating of the member.

It is very easy to do & usually done the same day you send it in. That is how I have been doing it for years. It is easier than a memo & contains all the info member services would need. I just tell them that it is an update to a member's speciality track when I send the e-mail with the CAPF 2 attached.

Hope this helps!

[CadetProgramGuy]

It does, Thanks!!

Specialty tracks are now done online in eServices in the Membership area of Commander's Corner.

They are effective immediately upon the commander clicking the box.

[CadetProgramGuy]

So how do I go about requesting it then?  Do I still use the CAPF 2A?

[CadetProgramGuy]

Oh and when I get Lavel 3 done, is it the same CAPF 2A to get that filed?

[Cecil DP]

For completion of a Training level use CAPF 24a which is routed through your Wing HQ and then on to National for the Loening Award. See CAPM 50-17.
For the specialty track as noted above use e-services and have your commander approve it electronically. Than for the Leadership award that comes with the updated training  use a CAPF 2a, Request for Personnel Actions,  not the  CAPF 2 Promotion Request

[Grumpy]

That stuff can be done on line then back it up with a 2a.  Fill in section II for status change (Technician to Senior).

Just like filling out a 1098 in the AF (3 level to 5 level, 5 level to 7 level).  Of course it's been twenty years since I retired so the form may have changed.

[Grumpy]

Sorry, forgot about the Form 24, oops!

[Eclipse]

Can someone post a click-through? I have CC's rights so my screens are different than the rank and file.

Correct on the Form 24, which is still done manually, up though Wing into NHQ.

Not sure about a click-through, but if you sign in to E-services, look for a link on the right side that says "Senior Member Specialty Track". Click on that, select the victi er member and have your fun with their professional development record.

That's in commander's corner, I'm talking about for a member to go in and request the rating, which then generates an email to their CC for the approval.

Commander's Corner is a subset of Restricted Applications. If you can't see it in your RH menu, get your WSA to add the permission. As Group CC, you may or may not have it as a default permission.

The rating must be requested by the Personnel Officer, PD Officer, or someone with permission for that app.

[floridacyclist]

No it is not in Commander's Corner. I have it as a Personnel Officer; actually Asst PO while I train my replacement.

"Commanders Corner" and "Senior Member Specialty Track" are restricted applications that cannot be assigned by a web security administrator.  These are assigned automatically only by duty assignments.  Administration, professional development and personnel officers along with commanders will automatically get the "Senior Member Specialty Track" permission.

[floridacyclist]

They can be assigned by a WSA if requested by competent authority, but are usually automatically assigned by duty assignment. I've sat with the wing IT guy while he made sure I had all the permissions I needed since I lost many of them in a Group dissollution.

That's in commander's corner, I'm talking about for a member to go in and request the rating, which then generates an email to their CC for the approval.

There's no e-services function for a member to "request" the boost in rating.  Generally, I've simply typed up a memo including documentation that I completed all the stated requirements for the rating, and passed it on to the CC to review and update my rating in E-services as necessary.

OK, I finally went and actually looked, and you are correct.  I have had CC's rights for about 7 of my 8 years (for various reasons) and I always have issues when people ask me how to do "x", because I can generally do  most tasks and my click-throughs never look the same as rank and file members.

You must be a Professional Development Officer, Administrative Officer, Personnel Officer, Vice Commander or Commander to access to this application. As one of the above you will see all the members below your echelon.

So one of the above, or someone with the equivalent rights granted by the WSA, selects the member, rating, level and effective date and submits it to unit CC for approval.

That then generates the email to the CC and it is his discretion for approval.

CC's cannot self-approve, so in the example of a unit CC, his requests go to the next echelon CC.

I sit corrected. I'm my unit WSA, and just looked at what I can assign. "Senior Member Specialty Track" is not one of them. I'm the Admin Officer, so I can use that app.
