I would have put down cadet programs, professional development, finance, personnel and administration, but I hold master ratings in those so I am not enrolled in those tracks.

I put down my master ratings. Did that skew the curve?  I thought you were looking for people in those tracks, ever.

Title: Re: Specialty Track
Post by: ThorntonOL on January 13, 2009, 05:10:38 AM
Didn't see this one until now, thanks for the bump, I currently hold actual ratings in Cadet Programs and Logistics (both Tech.) Have been working on three others in the past or present.
Aerospace which I would have by now but for a few requirements in the training that due to sveral seniors also being in the track has been hard to get, my communications has fallen by the wayside as we don't have much of a active radio program which hopefully will change in this new year, Currently working on DDR because no else in the units is doing it so I have it to myself for now. I do plan on getting Senior in Logistics as soon as I can but it's only in the middle of the list.

I think Admin or Personnel are the "easiest" in terms of length of time to earn.

ES is pretty difficult, because it requires that you actually move up from the squadron to complete.

I think it's transitional.  OE 1.0 was a specialty track, and it is being phased out in favour of the new program

Logistics easy.

PAO requires a correspondence course. Communications has a tough Master test. The hardest is IG you have to attend IG college in NM for a week.
Title: Re: Specialty Track
Post by: Lord of the North on November 12, 2011, 05:11:04 AM
The master rating in IG takes a bit more than just attend the IG college.

At a minimum, the IG master rated student should:
KNOWLEDGE REQUIREMENTS
Assessments
(1) Plan, organize and execute two subordinate unit inspections (SUI) in addition to the requirements needed for the senior rating. The one team leader SUI required for the senior rating may count toward the master rating: the intent is to make accomplishment of required tasks cumulative.
(2) Critique the mission accomplishment of each inspected area (tab).
(3) Appraise the results of an assessment and analytically apply the grading criteria.
Complaints
(1) Perform a thorough written complaint analysis demonstrating understanding of the 5 possible outcomes.
(2) Select the correct template(s) in creating a Report of Investigation (ROI).
(3) Create a concise ROI from facts acquired during an investigation.
ACADEMIC REQUIREMENT
The student must complete the following academic requirement:
(1) Graduate from the CAP Inspector General College Completion of the Senior Level course is a prerequisite for the College. This requirement may be waived by the CAP-IG on a case by case basis. Examples could be: recent appointment to a wing IG position just prior to the start of the biennial IG College, to eliminate the need to wait two-years to attend the college. The CAP-IG may require completion of the on-line basic course as a substitute.
SERVICE REQUIREMENTS
Additionally, the student must complete the following service requirements:
(1) Participate as a team leader in two graded assessments
(2) Successfully complete the handling of a CAP complaint from start to finish.
(3) Be evaluated by the CAP/IG, or designee, using Attachment 1.
(4) Serve as a wing and/or region IG or on the IG staff at National level for greater than 2 years; or, alternatively, upon recommendation by a wing or region IG, an assistant who has served for a period of greater than 2 years may apply to the CAP-IG for a master rating.

Title: Re: Specialty Track
Post by: rgennrichiii on July 07, 2012, 01:25:38 AM
Currently have Tech ratings in Cadet Programs, Admin, Personnel. and by regs since I am in the roles as Aerospace Ed office and finance Officer I am also working on those.   I consider my primaries to be admin/Personnel. I was tech rated in cadet programs back in the mid 90's and am not currently in the role.

As the CDS I guess you could say I also dabble in all tracks to the point of knowing what each of my people is doing and what they are required to do. That way I can help them achieve success. Even if its only asking them what if any help do they need or what additional training would be beneficial to them in their current fields.
