USAF Enlisted Training

Samantha Kunzelman, TSgt, USAFAFRL Det 1 Unit Training Manager

Overview

• Change in 5-level upgrade training• AFTR update• AFTR transfers• TBA vs AFTR• Changes in CFETP 1 May 2009• AF 4T RSV training requirements

5-level minimum time in upgrade training

• Effective 1 April 2009, for initial award of the 5-skill level, trainees must complete a minimum of 12 months in UGT.

• Retrainees is not affected by this change. • Decision to modify minimum time in UGT was to allow

better flexibility of trained airmen to support our wartime capability.

• Due to limitations and rules already established in MilPDS which only allow upgrade actions to the 5-skill level to be completed at or beyond the 15 month period, a workaround has been established. Please follow the step by step directions provided on the AFPC website to process these actions in MilPDS.

AF Form 2096

• This the Classification/On-The-Job Training Action

• All AF 2096 need to be sent to base training on a regular basis

• These are being sent for upload into ARMS—Automated Record Management System.

AFTR update

• Only UTMs can use the scan and attach feature at this time. This might change to allow supervisors in the future, but for now, only UTMs can do this.

AFTR transfers

• Call the next unit before transferring– Ensure you have the correct work center

Training Business Area (TBA) vs Air Force Training Record (AFTR)

• Discussion of merging TBA with AFTR• GAP analysis paper of both systems– TBA does not deal with CDC or tracking them– AFTR has a security vulnerability being linked to ADLS– Systems have 61 functions in common, 16 unique

functions for AFTR, and 23 TBA unique functions.• As of April 2008:– AFSC under AFTR: 1W, 3E, 3M, 3P, 3S, 4A,4B, 4C, 4D, 4E,

4H, 4J, 4M, 4N, 4P, 4R, 4T, 4V, 4Y, 6F, 8B, 8T, CMETP-1, CMETP-2, CMETP-3 AND CMETP-4

– AFSC under TBA: 2A, 2E, 2F, 2G, 2M, 2P, 2R, 2S, 2T, 2W, 3A, 3C, 8S, 8M, 21A, 21M, 21R AND 33S career fields.

• AFTR has changed the ability to make these changes. • Some of the training has become more in-depth and requires trainees to know more about the procedure

to test.– May need to change training methods

AF 4T RSV

• RSV requirement changes– Required whether in a deployable position or not

including A4T positions– Due every 24 months– Changed to EMEDS equipment only and is

knowledge based– No performance based training

Summary

QUESTIONS?

Abstract• This workshop will overview the AFTR system with a focus on the

recent changes in AF enlisted and laboratory specific training. The material will cover required training for both hospital affiliated and non-affiliated A4T enlisted laboratory technicians. It is targeted towards USAF lab training managers and supervisors who are responsible for enlisted training.

• Objective 1: Participants will receive an overview of the Air Force enlisted training changes.

• Objective 2: Participants will receive an update on the online training system and changes that were made since implementation and upcoming changes.

• Objective 3: Participants will receive an update on laboratory specific training changes.
