AFPC accepting applications for ’09-’10 USAFA instructors

  • Published
Officers interested in serving as instructors at the U. S. Air Force Academy for the 2009-2010 school year should submit their applications to the Air Force Personnel Center here by July 15.

Instructor duty is a four-year special duty assignment available to qualified first lieutenants through lieutenant colonels. Officers desiring consideration must have a superior performance record and graduate degree from an accredited educational institution. Officers interested in instructing academic subjects must have a master's degree; however, it is not required for coaching and preparatory school positions.

Eligibility criteria may differ for rated and non-rated officers, but all officers need to send their submission packages with senior rater endorsement to the Academic and Special Utilization Branch at AFPC for consideration by their respective functional development team. The submission package includes a Statement of Interest, updated Airman Development Plan, and copies of all undergraduate and graduate transcripts with final grade point averages.

The same criteria and submission process apply to a limited number of instructor positions at the U. S. Military Academy, West Point, N.Y., and the U. S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md.

AFPC will notify officers of consideration via email by Aug. 31.
