## Specialty Tracks, COP and Promotions

- Overhead Handout
- 30 minutes
- Instructor: See Notes View of this Overhead.

- (F) Specialty Tracks, COP and Promotions

- Lvl II

**Notes:**
AFIADL did not make these overheads. This class is to encourage students to progress through Level II and finish AFIADL-13. Section A tells how the slides are used. Most of the class is in sections B, C, D, and E and corresponds to the 4 AFIADL-13 volumes. Section F tells about other Level II requirements. 
DO NOT COMPROMISE AFIADL-13 COURSE EXAM ITEMS IN YOUR BRIEFING. If you remember a question from the Course Exam, do not repeat it or paraphrase it. Teachers and students should not have access to the Course Exam any time during this class. To guard against inadvertent compromise, overhead material comes from CAP publications and AFIADL-13 equivalent courses.
Your job is to make the information clear and meaningful. We suggest:
Allow 10 hours for this course. This includes 10 minute breaks every hour and half hour for lunch. We recommend students bring their own lunch and beverages.
Use the overheads as your briefing notes. Avoid adding or deleting any material. Stick to the overheads 95 percent of the time.
Because students will use much time marking their volumes as they follow the overheads, minimize this time loss by limiting the class size to 10.
You may present alone or with a team. Have briefers arrive 30 minutes early, and stick to the time schedule.
