E2O:The Guided Path

from Enlisted to Officer

As an enlisted Airman, the Air Force will provide you with opportunities to earn your degree and work your way up the ladder to become an Air Force Officer. If you’re ready, the force will provide you with training to further develop the skills you need to become a world-class leader. There are many paths to becoming an officer varying from medical services to line officer to attending college at the U.S. Air Force Academy.

This document is compiled of those various programs that offer active duty enlisted Airmen the opportunity to commission into the ranks of the officer corps. The information is current as of the 2017 application year, and was pulled from multiple locations to include myPers and each program’s respective website.

Below is a brief description of each of the programs available to enlisted Airmen, followed by in depth information for each program to include application processes, requirements and eligibility, and examples of checklists and forms that accompany the application processes.

• The Airman Scholarship and Commissioning Program (ASCP) offers active-duty Airmen the opportunity to earn a commission while completing their bachelor’s degree as an Air Force ROTC cadet. Selected Airmen separate from active-duty Air Force, join ROTC at a participating college and become a full-time student. • Professional Officer Course — Early Release Program (POC-ERP) offers active-duty Airmen an opportunityforearlyreleasefromactive-dutyAirForcetoentertheAFROfficerTrainingCorps(ROTC). • Scholarships for Outstanding Airman to ROTC (SOAR) offers active duty enlisted personnel the opportunity to earn a commission if they complete all bachelor degree and commissioning requirements in 2 to 4 years as an Air Force ROTC cadet. • Officer Training School (OTS)-LineofficertrainingisconductedbyDetachment12andthe24th TrainingSquadronatOfficerTrainingSchool(OTS)MaxwellAFB,AL.LineOfficersconsistof thosecareerfieldsnotdirectlycommissionedintotheUSAF. • United States Air Force Academy/Prep School (LEAD)-TheUnitedStatesAirForceAcademywants individuals of high moral character to further develop into future leaders of the Air Force and our nation.

Chapter 4. Waiver processing4.1. The ineligibility factors covered in this section are not all inclusive, but contain those that generatethe most confusion. For more detail, refer to applicable AFIs. All waiver requests are reviewed using the “wholeperson”concept. Note: The waiver worksheet does not identify all waiverable ineligibilityfactors, so it is very important to become familiar with the AF instructions that govern this process. Air Force Recruiting Service is the approval authority for all derogatory in nature waivers with theexceptionof a financial eligibility determination (FED) that requires member’s Commander approval.

4.2.Waiverdisapproval can be at any level of the determination/waiver review process. AFRS/RSOCLwill notify applicants of disapproval of waivers. Applicants whose waivers are disapproved cannot reapply for12monthsfrom waiver disapproval date. Any disqualifying factor occurring or discovered after application submission that requires a waiver must be brought to the attention of AFRS/RSOCLimmediately. Anyone selected who at any time becomes disqualified may have their select statuswithdrawn.

1. Question: What doestheAFOQT test measure and how many parts are there?

Answer: The AFOQT measures aptitudes used to select candidates for officer commissioningprograms and specific commissioned officer training programs. The test has11 subtests plus apersonality assessment. Knowledgeand cognitive aptitude subtest scores are combined to generate oneor more of thesixcomposite scores used to help predict success in certain types of Air Force trainingprograms. The subtests are:

2. Question: How are scores determined?

Answer:Thescoresarereportedinsixcompositeareas:

Pilot CombatSystemOfficer(CSO) AirBattleManager(ABM)AcademicAdaptability(AA) Verbal Quantitative

These are the only scores which are reported to candidates.AFPC/DSYXdoes not combine ortotal thesix composite areas. Each of the six composite areas is reported separately with a percentilescore for each composite. Each composite score is determined using a combination of some of the 11cognitive subtests:

The Pilot score is determined by the number of questions answered correctly on the following subtests:

3. Question: Since I’m not applying to Pilot, CSO, or ABM training do I have to take the complete test? I prefer toonly take the first half of the test because the other subtests are a waste of my time.

Answer: All examinees must complete all subtests. There may be a future requirement for use of allsubtest scores. Even if the pilot/CSO/ABMsubtests are not taken it counts as a valid testadministration. Examinees will not be authorized an additional test administration at a later timebecause they declined to complete some subtests.

4. Question: Whatis a percentile score and what does it mean?

Answer: A percentile score indicates how an individual’s test performance compares to a normativereference group. A normative reference group consists of a group of examinees with demographic andaptitude characteristics representative of those who are taking the test. The number of test questionsanswered correctly by an examineeis compared to the scores of those in the normative referencegroup and the results are reported on a 1 to99scale.Forexample,anindividualwith a percentilescore of 50 has a score equal to or better than50%ofthose in the normative reference group, anindividual with a percentile score of75 has a score equal to or better than75% of those in thenormative reference group, etc. Research studies have shown that scores are predictive ofperformance in commissioning programs and specialized training programs such as Pilot andNavigator training. Selection boards then use these scores in combination with other factors todetermine who will be selected.

5. Question: How long does it take to score an answer sheet after it arrives at AFPC/DSYX?

Answer: We typically score AFOQTs one or two times a week. The biggest delay in test scoring isthe mailing time for AFOQT answer sheets to reach AFPC for scoring. We require answer sheets to bemailed within 1 duty day of test administration. It’s extremely important that examinees scheduletesting far enough in advance of any application deadline to ensure their results is available by thedeadline.

6. Question: Howcan someone obtain a copy of his or her scores?

Answer: For individuals who test at an Active Duty, Guard, or Reserve base, RIPs are sentviaAUTODIN to the MPFsthatconducted the testing. For those who test at an ROTC detachment,AFPC sends out file copies to HQ AFROTC a few days after each scoring run.

There are two ways for individuals who do not have an official copy of their scores to obtain them:

A. Go to the AFPC testing web site at https://w20.afpc.randolph.af.mil/afoqtsnet20/DODBanner.aspx/and print out the scores.

B. AirForceTCOtestsitesareauthorizedtogenerateasourceusingtheofficialscores from theweb

NOTE: ABM scores are currently unavailable on the AFOQT website, but can be accessed at http://access.afpc.af.mil/pcsmdmz/ (“Check ABMScores”on left side of page).

7. Question: HowgoodaremyAFOQTscores?

Answer: As mentioned above, scores are reported as percentiles ranging from 1 to 99.

26

8. Question: We all know that a board reviews the scores.Does the board make selections based onwho has the highest score or as long as you have the minimum score do you then compete based onother factors?

Answer: The Board will factor in many items to include AFOQT Scores, EPR's, work history and"whole person concept" items. Some of the governing regulations include:

• AFI36-2005,Appointment in Commission Grades and Designation and Assignment inProfessional Categories -- Reserve of the Air Force and United States Air Force (Temporary)

• AFI36-2013, Officer Training School (OTS) Enlisted Airman Commissioning Programs• AETCI36-2002,Recruiting Procedures for the Air Force• AFROTC45-13, AFROTC Weighted Professional Officer Course Selection System• AFRCI36-2602,Application Procedures For Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training

(SUPT), Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training-Helicopter (Supt-H), And SpecializedUndergraduate Navigator Training (SUNT)

9. Question: What is the passing percentile for each category?

Answer: Per AFI 36-2605(2013InterimChange, certified by BG Grosso,AF/A1P)the Air Force hasestablished minimum AFOQT standards for commissioning and rated classification:

AFOQT Minimum Standards

Verbal Quantitative Pilot CSO ABM

Commissioning 15 10

Pilot(includingRPAPilot)

25 no min no min

CSO no min 25 no min

ABM no min no min 25

Beyondtheseminimums,eachcommissioningsourcedeterminesthecriteriaforselection.TheAFOQTscore is just one of many factors considered in the selection process.

10. Question: I’ve heard the combination of a person’s score must be 100orbetter. Is this true?

Answer: Scores are not intended to be summed (and Pilot, CSO, and ABM scores are not intendedto be used for non-rated selection/classification). Refer to the respective commissioning source formore information on the criteria used for selection.

11. Question: Whathappens when it’s crunch time and the board is right around the corner?

Answer: We do our best to score the AFOQT tests as soon as possible. As a minimum we scoretests once a week. Wemakeevery effort to get the results to the board in a timely manner. The bestapproach is to eliminate crunch time by planning to test well in advance of board deadlines.

Answer:No.Havingtestscoresisarequirementtocompeteforalineofficercommission.

13. Question:How long does it take for theMPF to get scores back from AFPC?

Answer: The location administering the test is required by AFI 36-2605, Air Force MilitaryPersonnelTesting System, to mail the answersheetswithin1dutydayofadministration.Itusuallytakes7-10daysbefore the answer sheets are in-hand for scoring. Then the amount of time since we completed the lastscoring run and getting the scores loaded into the database adds a few more days. As soon as the scoresare loaded they can be obtained via the web at AFOfficerQualifyingTestScores.

14. Question: How do you compute a TBAS or PCSM score?

Answer: AFPC/DSYX ([email protected]; Commercial [877] 977-8995), computes the scoresusing a complex algorithm combining AFOQT Pilot and Test ofBasic Aviation Skills (TBAS) scoreswith flying hours to come up with a model score which predicts success in pilot(including RPA)training programs. PCSMscores are reported as1 to99 percentile scores relative to allUSAF pilotcandidates; TBAS scores are not reported directly.

15. Question:HowmanytimescanItaketheAFOQT?

Answer: An individual can take the AFOQTtwo times with a minimum interval of6months

betweentestadministrations.Waiverstotakethetestathirdtimearegrantedtoindividualswhohavecompleted significant training since the previous administration if the training impacts the skills beingmeasuredbythetest(college-level math and English courses, private pilot’s license, etc.).Ifyouinquireon a score and see blanks in the area where the scores should be, it’s usually because the person took thetest a third time without authorization.

12. Question: Can applicants go through the board without scores?

Only one LOR is allowed. TheLOR should be addressed to the Air Force Officer Selection Board. A LOR adds emphasis to the“whole person” concept. The LOR tells Board members more about your character and potential forcommissioning. It is recommended that the Unit Commander does not write the LOR, since he/shealready performed the interview. The best person to write an LOR is one who has a workingknowledge of you;attestingto your character, morals, standards, and potential. Individuals writing anLOR should state their relationship to you and use specific examples they have observed of your leadership, moral character, talents, accomplishments, etc. You are not allowed to obtain an additional endorsement on the Letter of Recommendation.
