Guidelines for Identifying Senior Officer School Candidates
1. In the course of the selection process, candidates
should be ranked by their sponsoring offices and Directorates
and their names submitted in preferential order to the CIA
Training Selection Board.
2. Since it is often advisable for the Training Selection
Board to consider an individual for a school other than the one
for which he was nominated, the people making the nominations
should specify if an individual may be considered for more than
one service school and, if so, in what order of preference.
Conversely, where only one school is considered to be
appropriate for an individual, an explanation should be included.
3 The more information a nominating office can give the
Training Selection Board about the future prospects for a
nominee (a statement of the individual's SODP status, if
applicable), the better are his chances for selection. This
information often becomes crucial in breaking a tie in ranking
of candidates.
4. The nominators should be able to assure the Training
Selection Board that all appropriate parties have been informed
of a nomination, especially the person being nominated, and that
consequences to him and to his family, if he is selected, will
have been taken into account. If a nominee is serving in
another Directorate, it is also important that both Directorates
are aware of the nomination. Several incidents with respect to
recent nominations demonstrated that it is important for
everybody to be informed.
5. An officer who has attended one senior external
training program is not likely to be selected for another senior
program within the succeeding three to five years.
6. Since the highly qualified competitors for these
schools are likely to be more numerous than can be accommodated,
it would be helpful for all members of a Career Service Board to
be familiar with the training opportunities presented in the
Office of Training and Education Catalog and to be thinking of
alternatives for those who are not selected.
