The reason for this is that Air University doesn't end us a list of course completions. Also remember to tell us which CAP course you want a waiver for. To determine if college credit is available for AU PME courses which you have completed you must ask your college or university to consult the "ACE Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services," and also have them review your Air University transcript to determine if credit can be awarded.

Like I said the flight chief gave me the "red meat", and I think he was impressed at my ability to make it through the course. He seemed to really enjoy the mentoring session. I don't think you need to be enrolled in any PME course to get some type of mentoring session.
However, I now understand why someone of a lower grade and rank should seek a mentor at a significantly higher level. If they take the mentoring to heart and see you as someone having potential they will spill the beans and provide the hars truths of the matter. Thanks for the update. However, I did leave DoD to take my current position. There is no real secret to climbing.
I would look for GS 11 positions if I were in your position unless you are in a ladder that goes that far or higher.
I would look at course related to my speciality for the next internal education needs. As for graduate degree JD may not be your best bet. What are the degrees your senior leadership values most? If you are not looking to be in an Attorney billet, a JD may not bring much to the table. The "be active, be seen" may be some of the best advice for your level. Volunteer for projects if your boss will allow you outside your "box". These can get you visibility with senior leadership and open up other opportunities.

Not exactly an option if you plan on making it a career, and is pretty much required for advancement as a military member. This is not so true for civilians. While it is not bad to have soemk leadership training on your resume, PME isn't a requirement. And, outside the USAF or DoD, is pretty much a just another line on a resume which means little to the hiring official if there were never in the military.
Short answer FDA for example won't care you attended. Joe Cardwell. While PME by a civilian may be an edge if all else is equal, it may also be a Prohibited Personel Practice due to affording a benefit to only those withing DoD and thereby preventing other qualified personnel within the federal government from being able to compete on an equal basis. Answering these questions was the goal of the Project Mercury research team that we participated in. At the beginning of the study, Air University lacked empirical data on officer explanations for dissatisfaction with instructor assignments at Maxwell Air Force Base.
So, the team used the instructor selection list and a list of current and former Squadron Officer School instructors to solicit feedback. A survey we conducted revealed that the officers want to be instructors — 86 percent of respondents expressed positive feelings about potential instructor duty. However, these potential instructors have poor views of teaching at Squadron Officer School. Only 24 percent view teaching at the Squadron Officer School at Maxwell Air Force Base as a positive outcome, and roughly the same amount view teaching at the school as harmful to their careers.
But this perception does not match the reality of the Squadron Officer School experience. Only 21 percent of current and past instructors would not recommend a Squadron Officer School assignment.
Notably though, only 46 percent of this group viewed a Squadron Officer School instructor assignment as beneficial to their careers. So, Air Force officers want to be academic instructors, and they have the potential to want to teach in a Squadron Officer School. Over a third of respondents were dissatisfied living in the Montgomery area. Survey respondents stated concerns over schooling options for their children, job opportunities for their spouses both dual military and civilian , housing and childcare options, and overall quality of life factors.
In short, candidates overwhelmingly were not interested in Montgomery as an assignment choice. To solidify the point, 70 percent of candidates said they would be interested in teaching in a Squadron Officer School at a location different from Montgomery. Testing an anecdotal hypothesis, we asked the candidates if they would teach in Squadron Officer School at Maxwell if it provided the opportunity to earn an advanced academic degree from a non-Air University institution.
Three-quarters of respondents viewed this as a positive motivator to choose Squadron Officer School and Montgomery as an assignment. The Air Force should establish satellite Squadron Officer School campuses co-located at or near major Air Force installations and major universities. By distributing some of the Squadron Officer School campuses away from Maxwell Air Force Base, the service will make instructor assignments more attractive, allow officers more flexibility in getting flying unit assignments while they teach, and potentially save money.
Establishing satellite campuses will make instructor assignments more attractive by giving officers greater say in where they live and work. Moreover, such a change would mean that Maxwell Air Force Base would not have to absorb all the dual military situations.
Many dual military couples are not on the same exact professional development timeline e. Civilian spouses will have longer tour lengths in cities more desirable than Montgomery, with more school, housing, childcare, and career opportunities. As additional benefits, distributed operations will provide more pandemic response options, and, if enacted in locations such as Ramstein Air Base in Germany and Kadena Air Base in Japan, reduce travel costs for students already posted overseas.
