Airmans' Roll Call: Take control of your career in the new year Published Jan. 10, 2008 WASHINGTON -- There's no better time than the beginning of a new year to take a look at your goals and consider what you're doing or must do to achieve them. Enlisted Airmen have a valuable tool at their disposal in "My Enlisted Development Plan", or "MyEDP," located on the Air Force Portal Website. MyEDP is designed to help Airmen track their own careers and the careers of those they supervise or mentor. "My EDP is a one-stop shop that highlights your education, training, leadership and job experience," said Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force Rodney J. McKinley. For Airmen who want to "play a bigger role in developing the future" of their careers, MyEDP is a great place to start. Here are some things you can do on MyEDP: Virtual mentoring - You can upload documents, certificates, transcripts, packages or any other items you would like to make accessible to your supervisors and mentors anywhere in the world. Outline educational and career goals - Under "Enlisted Development Tools," you can view the enlisted career path which can help guide your career from Airman basic to chief master sergeant. The enlisted career path outlines promotion requirements, education and training requirements, professional development, career broadening and key leadership roles that can help Airmen achieve their personal and professional goals. Keep a journal of accomplishments - The journal feature on MyEDP can serve a variety of purposes. It can be used to keep track of bullets to prepare for an upcoming enlisted performance report or to keep supervisors and mentors in the loop about accomplishments or current events that impacted your day. View career and educational summaries - MyEDP gives you access to your Air Force Personnel Center record information, Community College of the Air Force credits and much more. You can view your past duty history, professional military education and even ancillary training data all in one place. Discuss Air Force issues in an open forum - Using the MyEDP forums, you can give and receive input from other Airmen across the globe about issues that concern you from assignments and deployments to uniforms and physical training. While the forum is monitored for content, entries are not deleted, so Airmen don't just get the "party line" answers to their questions. MyEDP is located on the Air Force Portal featured links under "Top Viewed: Career."
