8.6. ASBC eligibility waiver authority for TAFCSD requirements rests with MAJCOM A1s.<br />
8.6.1. When an officer is selected to attend ASBC but unable to do so, they remain<br />
eligible for attendance as long as the officer has not exceeded their window of eligibility.<br />
8.6.2. TAFCSD waiver procedures are:<br />
8.6.2.1. The unit commander or supervisor initiates a waiver request for an officer to<br />
attend ASBC in writing, including full justification as to why they did not attend<br />
during their window of eligibility. This should be addressed on appropriate squadron<br />
letterhead to the Wing Commander or Senior Rater for endorsement. The letter is<br />
then forwarded to MAJCOM A1s for approval/disapproval.<br />
8.6.2.2. The final letter with endorsements should be forwarded to AFPC/DPSIP via<br />
their ASBC General mailbox (asbc.cot@randolph.af.mil).<br />
8.6.2.3. If favorable approval is granted, the officer will be placed in the next ASBC<br />
class with an available quota.<br />
8.7. ASBC reclama approval/disapproval rests with AFPC/CC.<br />
8.7.1. Reclama procedures are:<br />
8.7.1.1. The organization training entity will send a reclama with a named<br />
replacement, when possible, to the WG/CC or SR for endorsement with full<br />
justification indicating why the selected officer is unable to attend.<br />
8.7.2. Rationales such as ―attending off-duty education‖, ―indispensable to an<br />
inspection‖, ―was not notified early enough‖, ―mission essential‖, has a ―personal<br />
conflict‖, or ―participating in a special project/local exercise‖ are not acceptable for<br />
reclamas. WG/CC has disapproval authority.<br />
8.7.3. Reclama requests endorsed by the WG/CC must be forwarded to AFPC/DPSIP via<br />
their ASBC General mailbox (asbc.cot@randolph.af.mil) for approval/disapproval.<br />
8.8. Eligibility SOS Waiver Procedures. Waiver authority for SOS is the MAJCOM A1,<br />
who may delegate to the wing commander or equivalent.<br />
8.9. To be eligible to attend SOS in residence, a LAF officer (Active, Guard or Reserve)<br />
must be a pinned-on captain with more than 4 years commissioned service but not more than<br />
7 years TAFCS (i.e., 6 years, 11 months, and 30 days of TAFCS) at start of SOS class.<br />
8.10. Intervening service between IDE/SDE residence attendance. To be eligible to attend<br />
SDE, officers should have at least 3 years of service since their last PCS resident education<br />
assignment (e.g., ACSC, <strong>AFI</strong>T, etc.) as of the CSD. DTs may elect to send an officer earlier,<br />
but only in the best interest of the AF so as to preclude back-to-back school programs.<br />
8.11. <strong>Air</strong> National Guard/<strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> Reserve. For the <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> Reserve, refer to AFMAN<br />
<strong>36</strong>-8001 and for the <strong>Air</strong> National Guard, ANGI <strong>36</strong>-<strong>2301</strong>.<br />
9. Non-resident/DL Programs. The purpose of non-resident DE programs (SOS, ACSC and<br />
AWC) is to provide DE opportunities to those individuals who cannot complete the resident<br />
program appropriate to their rank/grade or to supplement the available DE opportunities. All<br />
officers, including DE "selects" are eligible to enroll in PME by DL programs, thereby<br />
enhancing their leadership and knowledge of air, space, and cyberspace power. While some
