Developmental teams to consider 2013 command candidates Published March 12, 2012 By Debbie Gildea Air Force Personnel, Services and Manpower Public Affairs JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas -- Developmental teams from 11 different Air Force specialties will convene between May and September to consider eligible officers for calendar year 2013 squadron command, deputy logistics commander and deputy mission support group commander positions. Â Officers interested in command opportunities must ensure they update their Airman Development Plan to indicate that interest, said Jim Playford, AFPC developmental and special duty assignments branch. Basic eligibility criteria include specialty qualifications, grade/time-in-grade requirements, and permanent change of station eligibility. Specialty qualifications and grade requirements vary by career field, Playford said, so interested Airmen should review their assignment team web page at the Air Force Personnel Services website. To be eligible, officers must have 15-months time-on-station as of Jan. 1, 2013 (date arrived station of Sept. 30, 2012 or earlier), or be in an otherwise 2013 must-move status, such as graduating from intermediate or senior developmental education. Officers serving in joint billets must be able to complete at least 24 months (of a 36-month joint tour) by their projected departure dates, as well. "Officers must route their statement of intent through their senior rater to appropriate assignment teams by their DT suspense dates, which are listed on the personnel services delivery message released this week," he said. "The first SOI suspense is next month, so don't delay." AFPC will release DT results in a consolidated squadron commander candidate message in October 2012. Officers selected for the command candidate lists are considered volunteers for worldwide opportunities, including indeterminate temporary duty positions.
