information: date, time, rank, name (Last, First, MI), military ID number or WCN, ECL score,

Test Administration Duties of SAO/TCO
- Positively identify candidate (photo ID) prior to OPI session.
- Establish a suitable private room as test site.
- Free of extraneous noise/distractions.
- Comfortable chair, table/desk with only the telephone for

- TCO calls DLIELC at 210-671-6885 (DSN 473-6885).

a re-call.

unless more consultation between interviewers is needed. If necessary
the TCO will call back later for the rating.
