5/2/2011 - RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFNS) -- Officers considering 2012 advanced academic degree and experience broadening programs should get their applications started, since some applications are due as early as May 31, officials recently said.

Bomber pilot, space and missile operations, intelligence, weather, logistics, program management, developmental engineering, communications and information, public affairs, and support career field officers may be able to apply for one or more developmental programs. Officers may also apply for instructor pipeline programs with the U.S. Air Force Academy and Air Force Institute of Technology.

"We must deliberately develop our Airmen by focusing efforts on the right education, training and experience at the right time in their careers to ensure we remain the world's dominant air, space and cyberspace force," said Col. David Slade, the Air Force Personnel Center director of assignments. "This continuum of learning fosters warfighting competencies while ensuring we continue to produce world-class leaders."

Available programs include the Air Force Institute of Technology or Naval Postgraduate School, Education with Industry, Spacelift Education and Crossover Program, Space and Missile Acquisition Exchange Program, Acquisition and Intelligence Experience Exchange Tour, Acquisition and Logistics Experience Exchange Tour, Comptroller Operation Logistics Tour, U.S. Marine Corps Expeditionary Warfare School, Missile Operations and Missile Maintenance Exchange Program and the Information Officer Engineering Exchange.

Officers must submit a completed Air Force Form 3849, PME/AFIT/RTFB Officer Worksheet, to the appropriate agencies by the suspense dates identified in the 2012 AAD/SPEED pamphlet. The pamphlet also includes information on available programs and submission instructions, and is available on the Air Force personnel services website, https://gum-crm.csd.disa.mil/app; keyword search "AAD/SPEED."
