Those officers determined not fully qualified for promotion will be omitted from the AFQOL constituting a failure of selection (FOS). The provisions set forth in the reference MARADMIN are applicable to the AFQOL process, to include reviewing and preparing records for promotion consideration and submission of correspondence.
