(AUDIO) Welcome. This 2 minute tutorial conveys the Airmanship Program Goal and Objectives; outlines how the Airmanship Experience Model, or A E M, is organized; and affords the reader an option to select key nodes within the A E M to attain additional information.

(AUDIO) The goal of the Airmanship program is to develop Airmindedness, which is a perspective through which Airmen and Guardians can visualize and understand how air power can be applied to achieve our nation’s goals. The objectives of the Airmanship program contribute to goal attainment, and range from exposure and motivation to leadership and excellence opportunities.

(AUDIO) The A E M is how USAFA A3 and 306 F T G personnel go about meeting our Airmanship goal and objectives. This 5 plus year model of experience spans the period from Prep School Cadet Candidate to Awaiting Pilot Training, or A P T, Lieutenant. For a more detailed course enrollment timeline, reference the USAFA Course of Instruction, Airmanship Chapter, which is available via the link at the bottom right corner of the slide.

(AUDIO) In addition to Aviation experience, the A E M includes a series of deliberate administrative events chronologically timed to foster academic degree planning, stimulate career field interest discussions, and facilitate post-graduation assignment eligibility. The most prominent of these events is submission of career field preferences. It’s important Academic Advisors, AOC’s, Coaches, and other permanent party understand that on or about 1 March of the two degree spring semester, cadets submit their career field preferences; hence, backward planning to ensure timely completion of career field eligibility requirements is essential.

(AUDIO) It’s also important Academic Advisors, AOC’s, Coaches, and other permanent party are aware of: 1) The five rated assignment eligibility requirements, which are: Volunteer, Medical Clearance, and completion of the AFOQT, PCSM, AV100, and normally AM201; 2) The battle rhythm for career field interest assessments and rated assignment eligibility updates; and 3) The approximate timeline for completion of these requirements, which is start of spring semester, 2 degree year.
