IX. REMARKS

INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDANCE FOR COMPLETING CAP FORM 2. (Refer to paragraph 8, CAPR 35-5, for administrative procedures. Additional guidance on each promotion method is contained in the references indicated below.)

ITEM

I. Self-explanatory.

II.Complete all applicable blocks. All training (Levels I thru IV) must be validated by TTN and the accompanying award must appear in the member’s master file at National Headquarters prior to promotion. Promotions will not be processed until this has been accomplished. Level I. Effective 1 January 1991 both the Unit Orientation Course and Cadet Protection Training must be completed to satisfy the Level I requirement. The only exceptions are former cadets with the Billy Mitchell Award or former senior members who completed the Unit Orientation Course with less than a two-year membership break. These members must complete the Cadet Protection

Training only in order to receive credit for Level I completion through TTN.

Specialty Training. Chaplains must complete the CAP Chaplain’s Course (ECI Course 02210/CAPP 221) to qualify for promotion to major after initial appointment. Specify technician rating in specialty track number 221 to indicate completion of course. ECI 221A must be completed prior to promotion to lieutenant colonel.

III.Indicate grade requested in this block and check the appropriate promotion method block below. Check only one promotion method. For example, a member being promoted under the duty performance method should not also check mission-related skills.

(1)Duty Performance. Ensure that the member has the minimum skill level (and accompanying training awards) and necessary time- in-grade for the grade recommended. (See Section B, CAPR 35-5.)

(2)Special Appointment/Promotion. Note that exceptional qualifications promotions (waivers) require a detailed letter of justification and approval of the region commander, regardless of grade being recommended. Former members who are being recommended for grade reinstatement must meet the current training criteria for the grade requested. (See Section C, CAPR 35-5.)

(3)Mission-Related Skill. Promotion under this method may be made without regard to Level II training or time-in-grade. (See Section D, CAPR 35-5.)

(4)Professional Appointments/Promotions. Aerospace education, medical, and legal officers are not subject to Level II training, but time-in-grade is required for promotion after the initial appointment unless higher professional qualifications are obtained which meet the initial appointment criteria for grade recommended. Chaplains must complete the ECI Course 02210 or the technician rating in specialty track No. 221 before they are eligible for promotion to major after initial appointment. Chaplains must complete ECI 221A prior to promotion of lieutenant colonel. Additional training for chaplains and aerospace education officers is encouraged but not required for subsequent promotion. (See Section E, CAPR 35-5.)

IV. Self-explanatory

V. Recommendations for demotion will follow the same administrative procedures as promotions to include consideration by the appropriate promotion board. Final action rests with the promoting authority (see paragraphs 9 and 10, CAPR 35-5.)

VI. Flight officer promotions are restricted to senior members not yet 21 years of age. The wing commander may approve these promotions or promoting authority may be delegated to the group or squadron commander. (See Section F, CAPR 35-5.)

VII. Only the promoting authority is authorized to approve promotions and this form should bear his/her personal signature. Stamped signatures are not acceptable. Deputy commanders are authorized to approve promotions only in the prolonged absence of the commander. Promotions to the grades of major and lieutenant colonel require region approval. All exceptional qualifications promotions (waivers), regardless of grade recommended, require region approval.
