Cadets must complete a Leadership Academy to qualify for the Eaker Award. This requirement is met by attending Cadet Officer School, a Region Cadet Leadership School, or through the correspondence course AFIADL-13. Professional Development has now introduced the Officer Basic Course as a replacement to AFIADL-13. The new OBC program will not fulfill the leadership academy requirement. Once AFIADL-13 is no longer available, the requirement will have to be fulfilled by completing either COS or RCLS.
We have extended the deadline to enroll in AFIADL-13 until 1 July. Members enrolling in AFIADL-13 have 1 year from their enrollment date to complete the course. Go to the Distance Learning Courses web site for more information and to enroll in AFIADL-13.
You can go to the Leadership School web site for more information on RCLS and COS.
