If your TS clearance is within 90 days of the 5-year expiration date, you must complete your e-APP/SF-86 with your current security manager.

Valid Cyber Awareness and Unauthorized Disclosure training certificates (above) must be submitted to awc.studentops@us.af.mil prior to in-processing. Additionally, if you are currently filling an SCI-level billet, request your SSO to complete a Transfer-in-Status (TIS) to the AU/SSO (SMO: SSO AU) at Maxwell AFB, Alabama (DSN 94 312 493-6715, commercial 334-953-6715).

 NARRATIVE-ONLY PROMOTION RECOMMENDATION FORM (N-O PRF).   Active Duty Air Force students must have a N-O PRF completed/processed by their losing senior rater and submitted to AFPC by the losing MPF, IAW AFI 36-2406, para 8.1.2.1. and para 8.1.5.6.1/4/6, Officers will not depart without a narrative-only PRF being accomplished unless an approved waiver was granted. Senior raters provide a copy of the narrative-only PRF to the ratee approximately 30 calendar days prior to departure for AF level training. This is a member and losing senior rater/MPF responsibility. AWC does NOT receive nor process PRFs.

 myEVAL OPB. Active-Duty Air Force students must work with their losing unit to ensure their OPB is finalized in myEVAL prior to departure. IAW DAFI 34-2406, 1.4.2.2.1. officer evaluations are due to the MPF no later than 30 calendar days after close-out. Upon arrival, and once in-processed, if the OPB site is not finalized, the site can disappear. This is a known glitch due to the system not recognizing one individual moving to another PASCODE. To avoid any re-work or creating the OPB site from scratch, work with your unit to ensure it is signed and loaded in your records prior to departure. Lastly, not having a completed OPB, ahead of student in-processing, will cause delays in updating your record with correct student duty info.

 LEAVE. Take sufficient leave prior to arrival at AWC to avoid falling into a “use or lose” situation during the academic year.  AWC will NOT authorize ordinary leave to students during the academic year, except for a two-week holiday break in December. There is no Spring Break at AWC.
