A
Note About "AFSCs"
In
the Army & Marines, an enlisted job is called an "MOS" (Military
Occupation Specialty). In the Navy & Coast Guard, an enlisted
job is called a "Rating." In the Air Force, and enlisted
job is known as an "AFSC" (Air Force Specialty Code.
The
1st number in the AFSC is the career group. There are 9 Air Force
Career Groups: 1-Operations; 2-Maintenance/Logistics; 3-Support;
4- Medical/Dental; 5-Legal/Chaplain; 6-Finance/Contracting; 7-Special
Investigations; 8- Special Duty Assignments; 9-Special Reporting
Identifiers.
The
2nd digit (letter) identifies the career field. The 3rd digit
(numeral) indicates the career field subdivision (ie, job functional
area). The 4th number in the AFSC indicates a person's skill-level.
For example, someone with the AFSC "1A051" has a five-skill
level. An individual receives the "1" (helper) skill-level
when they enter technical school for the AFSC. Upon graduation
from technical school, they receive the "3" (apprentice)
skill level. Individuals are normally awarded the "5" (journeyman)
skill level after a period of on-the-job training (OJT) and correspondence
courses (Called "CDCs"). Depending on the job, this
process can last anywhere between 12 and 18 months. Upon promotion
to Staff
Sergeant, individuals enter training for the "7" (craftsman)
Skill Level. "7" level training consists of more CDCs,
more OJT, and (for some jobs) a 7-level technical school. Upon
promotion to E-8, the person receives a "9" (superintendent)
skill level.
The
final digit (numeral) indicates further job division within the
same functional area. Specific skills (such as type of aircraft)
are designated by suffixes, such as "A" or "B."
