The Commanders' Involvement Program, It is Working? The Perceptions of the Junior Rated Officer
Abstract
Reports the findings and conclusions of a survey administered to pilots and navigators to determine their perceptions of the Commanders' Involvement Program (CIP). The survey was administered to officers attending the United States Air Force (USAF) Squadron Officer School Class 89A. The survey was designed to measure the perception of junior officers in several areas: 1) on the utility of the AF Form 90 in the assignment process; 2) on the role of their commander in the assignment process; 3) on the role of their commander in career counseling; 4) and how to improve the assignment process. In general, the survey results indicate that while the requirement for commander counseling has been in existence since 15 April 1986, less than half of the junior officers surveyed had been counseled by their commander. Additionally, although the commanders are formally involved in the assignment process as a result of the CIP, junior officers believe the assignments officer at the Air Force Military Personnel Center (AFMPC) and at the Major Air Commands MAJCOM are more important than their commander in the assignment process.
