When will individuals with a reporting identifier or special duty identifier be eligible to compete within that identifier?

• A. On the date they are designated as their control AFSC on the PECD
• B. At the next promotion cycle
• C. After completing specialty training
• D. If designated as their control AFSC on the PECD

Answer: (D)

The key idea is that eligibility to compete within a reporting or special duty identifier depends on what is designated as your control AFSC in the PECD. The PECD is the record that shows which AFSC serves as your control for promotion purposes. If a member has a reporting or special duty identifier, they become eligible to compete in that identifier only when that identifier is designated as their control AFSC on the PECD. In other words, the competition is tied to that PECD designation, not simply to timing like the next promotion cycle or to completing training.
