Title: AFIADL is no longer AFIADL
Post by: Dutchboy on September 20, 2008, 02:13:14 AM
Guess what! The AFIADL is no longer. The name has changed. The new name is HQ AU A4/6 . Check out answer ID 506 in knowledgebase

C'mon guys, I'm still trying to get past ECI.  ;D

FWIW, the change from AFIADL to HQ AU A4/6 came several months ago.

Luckily this doesn't impact PAWG, since we don't get AFIADL tests.   >:D

In typical government fashion, the name grows...

Extension Course Institute

24 letters becomes...

Air Force Institute For Advanced Distance Learning

43 letters becomes...

Headquarters Air University A4/6 Communications and Information

That's 56 letters. Just go with HQ AU A4/6 for short, I guess. Still more letters than ECI or AFIADL....
