A recent change to Air Force policy means officers will have the opportunity to decline in-residence intermediate (IDE) or senior (SDE) developmental education without the implications of the seven-day option policy. Officers who are considering declination may want to explore alternate ways to complete IDE or SDE, such as distance learning. The Air Force Personnel Center requests that officers submit their declinations by Dec. 19. The IDE/SDE selection list has posted to myPers and additional details regarding developmental education are available there as well. Click the force development link from any officer landing page or select any officer category from the dropdown menu and search 'developmental education.'
