Title: Promotion Help 1stLT-Cpt
Post by: SARTAC Medic on August 11, 2010, 06:06:37 PM
Hey All,

Quick run down of my current situation.

I am a 1stLt because of advanced grade secondary to Earhart Award as a cadet. 

I have the time in grade as 1st LT

I recently Completed my OBC/ECI 13 Online

I have been assigned to CP as a specialty track, and am awaiting the 6 month mark as a assistant

I am scheduled to take my SLS in November when it is run. 


What Am I missing for my promotion to Captain?

Earhart already gives you the Technician badge in CP

My commander was saying that he is having a hard time figureing out how to enter the technician level granted by the earhart into e-services.  Any suggestions on how to acomplish this?

I'm not generally involved in much senior member PD stuff, but I think for the ones that come from cadet milestones, you have to contact national directly and have them do it. I thin that's what happened for me.

A written request from your Commander to the NHQ Director of Personnel.

Per CAPP 216 CADET PROGRAMS OFFICER'S HANDBOOK& SPECIALTY TRACK STUDY GUIDE

"Advanced Ratings. In recognition of their experience, former cadets who earned the Earhart Award are
eligible to receive the Technician Rating in the Cadet Programs Specialty Track upon becoming a
senior member. Likewise, former cadets who earned the Spaatz Award are eligible to receive the
Senior Rating. These advanced ratings are awarded on an individual basis. Former cadets who qualify
for these awards should submit a written request, approved by their unit commander, to HQ CAP/DP."

The bonus to getting all that squared away is that once your tech rating and other PD is all showing in E-Services, your promotion should be an easy "Duty Performance" promotion that your unit can initiate in E-Services.  A few clicks by the right people and you're an insto-Captain.   No paper CAPF 2 needed.
