DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE 446th AIRLIFT WING (AFRC)

JOINT BASE LEWIS MCCHORD WASHINGTON 98438-1326

4 June 2014 Dear Employers On behalf of the 2,200 Air Force Reservists in the 446th Airlift Wing, I welcome you to the Hire America’s Heroes 2014 Air Force Symposium. We are very proud to be partners in the global C-17 airlift mission here at JBLM – McChord Field every day. As reservists, we often don’t go through the traditional transition programs provided for active duty personnel getting out of or retiring from the Air Force because we continue to serve this country while balancing civilian and military commitments. But the need for employment opportunities is no less important. Many of my Airmen have taken the opportunities provided by their Air Force service to change and increase their professional skills. They are now qualified for more challenging employment opportunities in the civilian sector as well as their part-time military profession. As employers, I can guarantee you that when you hire one of our Airmen, they not only possess the skills and education you are looking for, but a work ethic and level of integrity that would benefit your organization. They’ve been given world-class training and been tested under the most difficult conditions. I am proud to say that they are among the finest Airmen I’ve worked with in my 34-year career. If you hire an Airman from this wing, you will get an employee who is committed to the success of your organization and will continue to serve this country in their military capacity. They will also continue to gain experience from both their civilian and military careers. Thank you for attending this great event. From my years of experience with Hire America’s Heroes, you are on a great team dedicated to supporting all military personnel, active duty, National Guard and reserve. I hope you enjoy your day and get a chance to interact with our Airmen. I’m sure you’ll be impressed. BRUCE A. BOWERS, Jr., Colonel, USAFR Commander

AIR FORCE SPECIALTY CODE (AFSC) GUIDE

The Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) is an alpha numeric code used by the Air Force to identify an Air Force skill set. (Similar to the Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) used by the Army and Marine Corps, or Ratings used by the Navy, and Specialty’s used by the Coast Guard.)

This resource guide details the Air Force Specialty Codes (AFSC) and is meant for use as a tool to decipher the associated skill clusters for Air Force careers.

The enlisted AFSC consists of five alphanumeric characters. The first number in the AFSC is the Career Group. The second digit (letter) identifies the Career Field. The third digit (numeral) indicates the Job Functional Area. The fourth number in the AFSC indicates a person’s 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.”

The officer AFSC consists of four alphanumeric characters including the same Career Groups as enlisted, followed by the Utilization Field (Numerical, different for each), the Functional Area (Alpha, different for each), and finally the Qualification Level.

Career Group categories include:1. Operations2. Logistics3. Support4. Medical5. Professional6. Acquisition7. Special Investigations8. Special Duty Identifiers9. Reporting Identifiers

“It was especially beneficial for my Director of Operations to see what else the military does beyond combat.”

“I came away with a better appreciation for the talent and experience of the Military. It’s apparent that many are a different caliber of service personnel.”

“Learning what exactly service members do on the job and being able to ask questions and compare to our mission was extremely useful.”

“My company found this experience to be very valuable. It was such an honor and a privilege to speak one-on-one with our Military and hear firsthand what they do currently and what they are interested in pursuing in the near future.”
