This instruction implements Air Force Policy Directive (AFPD) 36-20, Accession of Air Force
Military Personnel, and prescribes procedures for the allocation of cadet time. It establishes the
sources of authority for determining the specific uses of cadet time and for granting excusals from
approved duties, activities, or events. It establishes eligibility requirements for excusals and the
limitations on the amount of academic classes from which cadets may be excused. It includes a
list of priorities that determine precedence when conflicts occur. Any United States Air Force
Academy (USAFA) agency requesting cadet time will comply with the authorizations, precedence,
eligibility requirements, and procedures contained in this instruction. In case of conflicts with other
USAFAI or guidance, this instruction takes precedence. The authorities to waive wing/unit level
requirements in this publication are identified with a Tier (“T-0, T-1, T-2, T-3”) number following
the compliance statement. See AFI 33-360, Publications and Forms Management, for a description
of the authorities associated with the Tier numbers. Submit requests for waivers through the chain
of command to the appropriate Tier waiver approval authority, or alternately, to the Publication
OPR for non-tiered compliance items. This publication does not apply to Air Force Reserve
Command (AFRC) units or the Air National Guard (ANG). In collaboration with the Athletic
Department, (USAFA/AD), Dean of Faculty, (USAFA/DF), and the Deputy Chief of Staff for
Manpower, Personnel and Services (HQ USAF/A1) develops personnel policy for the allocation
of cadet time. Refer recommended changes and conflicts between this and other publications to
