10.1.3.1. School of Advanced <strong>Air</strong> and Space Studies (SAASS) graduates who are<br />
<strong>AFI</strong>T-sponsored faculty-development PhD candidates (all but dissertation) may<br />
request SDE credit for SAASS PhD completion. These officers are not required to<br />
complete AWC by DL to receive SDE equivalency credit but must follow the same<br />
request process outlined in paragraphs 10.1. and 10.1.1.<br />
10.1.3.2. AF/JA may convene an annual selection board to identify judge advocate<br />
(LAF-J) officers who have completed, or will complete, the <strong>AFI</strong>T Masters of Laws<br />
(LL.M.) program and who are of the requisite quality to be awarded IDE equivalency<br />
credit. AF/JA will submit the LAF-J officers identified for award of equivalency<br />
credit to AF/A1 for approval during the DEDB process.<br />
10.2. DTs may recommend credit for IDE/SDE to the DEDB for nominees requesting<br />
equivalency credit as listed in Table 4. Furthermore, DTs have the latitude to recommend<br />
equivalency credit to nominees in the primary ceiling, even if the member did not request<br />
equivalency credit. The DT has the knowledge and functional expertise to determine the<br />
needed development of each officer. This includes determining that the member does not<br />
need to attend an IDE/SDE resident program, when they have previously completed a<br />
developmental experience the DT determines is sufficient. DTs/CFMs are encouraged to<br />
discuss this action with the nominating senior rater prior to recommending the credit to<br />
ensure there are no extenuating circumstances or any unintended consequences.<br />
10.3. <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> officers may also participate in other Service, Joint, DoD, and non-DoD<br />
(international and civilian) PME-equivalent programs. For details on what constitutes joint<br />
programs, see CJCSI 1800.01. Other Services, US Government agencies, and foreign<br />
countries participate in <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Force</strong> PME programs.<br />
10.4. DE Equivalency programs listed in Table 4 have been identified because of the<br />
operational and/or strategic development that each program provides. Tactical and<br />
functionally focused programs do not demonstrate operational and strategic elements of<br />
development required by AF institutional education.<br />
10.5. White House Fellows, Washington DC. This program is not managed by the AF;<br />
however, details on the program follow. The White house Fellows program is one of the<br />
nation‘s most prestigious opportunities in the areas of leadership and public service.<br />
Founded in 1964 by President Lyndon B. Johnson, the Fellowship offers exceptional young<br />
men and women first-hand experience working at the highest levels of the Federal<br />
government. Selection as a White House Fellow is highly competitive and the program has<br />
fostered national leaders in many fields including senior military officers, Cabinet<br />
Secretaries, legislators and CEOs. White House Fellows typically spend one year, running<br />
from 1 Sept to 31 Aug, working as full-time, paid special assistants to senior White House<br />
Staff, the Vice President, Cabinet Secretaries and other top-ranking government officials.<br />
Fellows also participate in an education program consisting of roundtable discussions with<br />
leaders from the private and public sectors and trips to study U.S. policy in action both<br />
domestically and abroad. Beginning with Academic Year (AY)2005 starts, White House<br />
Fellows were granted resident IDE/SDE credit provided they complete a pre-approved<br />
program.
