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

The new name is much simpler and less confusing.

Right after I finally memorized what AFIADL stood for

DAng! And I always thought it was some type of flower!

Yeah whatever.

Hopefully soon it will be a rare thing to even reference the ECIAFIADLHQAUA/46 13.

Their new name is Educations Logistics and Communications....so ELC.

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

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.

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....
