Weather Career Ladder, AFSC 251Xo/A.

Abstract

This report is an occupational survey of the Weather career ladder (AFSCs 251X0/A) completed by the Occupational Survey Branch, USAF Occupational Measurement Center, in December 1979. The history of the Weather career field dates back to May 1951. From its inception until 1975, the career field consisted primarily of two separate ladders, Weather Forecasters (AFSC 253X0) and Weather Observers (AFSC 252X1). The observers were responsible for gathering weather data which forecaster personnel analyzed and used as the basis for their weather forecasts. The Forecasters formed a lateral career ladder with inputs from the Observer career ladder. In May 1975, a single career ladder was formed when the Weather Observer and Forecaster personnel merged into the AFSC 251X0 Weather career ladder.
