officers may attend an Air Force resident PME program, a number of officers selected for inresidence
IDE or SDE will still need to complete PME by DL in order to receive JPME I credit.
Completion of AF PME is required before an individual can receive credit for completing other
non-resident DE (for example, sister-Service non-resident DE). AF/A1DL is the waiver
authority for all non-resident PME eligibility. HQ AU is the waiver authority for all non-resident
AF PME completion restrictions and limitations.
9.1. Air Force policy emphasizes taking the right DE at the right time and at the right grade.
The non-resident sequence is SOS, ACSC, then AWC. Officers may enroll in non-resident
programs as detailed in Table 3.
9.2. Officers enrolled in IDE programs that are not JPME Phase I awarding (NDIC, AFIT,
NPS, ASAM, Fellowships/Internships, etc.) must complete ACSC-DL in order to be awarded
JPME Phase I credit and be granted IDE in-residence completion.
9.3. Officers crossflowing into the AF from another Service will receive credit for the
appropriate PME completed while serving in the sister-Service, subject to the following
limitations.
9.3.1. All crossflow officers will receive credit for PME completed before their
promotion to their current rank/grade. For instance, an Army Major transferring into the
Air Force would receive credit for having completed CGO PME in the Army.
9.3.2. For PME in the currently held grade, the following applies: If the officer has more
than three years TIG at the time of transfer, the officer will receive credit for the gradespecific
PME completed in the sister-Service. If officers crossflow into the AF with less
than three years TIG (as captains, majors or lieutenant colonels), they will not receive
credit for their sister-Service PME specific to their current grade, however, they will have
the opportunity to complete AF PME commensurate with their current rank/grade.
AF/A1D is the waiver authority for this requirement.
