Promotion Board Guidance

Serving in specific Special Duty roles, like that of Instructor, is valued by senior DAF leadership. Prior to each promotion board, board members are issued guidance on what they should consider while evaluating member records. The Secretary of the Air Force instructs board members to “consider OI&RSD essential to warfighting success,” advises them that members who have served in that role have been “competitively selected,” and that serving in such roles “increases skill sets and future leadership potential."
