Primary

Indicates an applicant who is fully qualified and will be available for rotation every fourteen days in the case of Type 2, or according to the national rotation list in the case of Type 1. Primary applicants are responsible for working with their Section Chief to identify a replacement when they are unavailable. Supervisors of those nominated as Primary team members should have a plan in place that allows these applicants to fulfill their obligation to the teams.

Shared

Alternate
