Electronic Communications and Cryptographic Equipment Systems Repair Career Ladder, AFSC'S 30630, 30650, 30670, and 30691.

Abstract

The Electronic Communications and Cryptographic Equipment Systems Repair (AFS 306X0/91) Career Ladder is functionally arranged around equipment and maintenance support functions. Seven major job clusters or groups were identified as dealing directly with equipment maintenance. Seven other job clusters were identified in the area of maintenance support. Maintenance support bing concerned with the administration, scheduling, electronics installation, quality control job control, and training functions. A total of 45 job groups were found within the clusters. Job progression relative to skill level and time in service shows a typical shift from technical to supervisory responsibility width increasing skill level and time in service. Plans for reenlistment increase with time in service to a high of 96 percent intending to reenlist after the fourth enlistment. Job interest shows a similar trend with increasing time. Responses to questions concerning perceived utilization of talents and utilization of training show that a large percentage of personnel do not feel their talents or training are being utilized well. Specialty descriptions in AFM-39-1 do not adequately describe the electronics installation function of this specialty. Usual comparisons of occupational survey data with the Plan of Instruction for 3ABR30630 were not possible, due to special training requirements imposed by the National Security Agency (NSA). The STS was reviewed and only generally compared to survey results since special training requirements also affect training documentation. (Author)
