An Exploration of Alternatives to the Current USAF Enlisted Career Progression System.

Abstract

This thesis constitutes one part of a six-team, three-year study designed to determine if it would be practical or feasible for the USAF to eliminate or modify current upward progression policies. One objective of this thesis was to provide a detailed analysis of the career progression systems of the U.S. Air Force, Army, Navy, Royal Air Force, and civilian airlines. The analysis includes the career progression elements of track, tier, skill level, grade, noncommissioned officers, training, identifiable career progression, up or out, grade stagnation, time in service, time in grade, evaluation, compensation, relocation and service contracts. The second objective was to formulate alternatives to the current Air force enlisted career progression system for use by the research team concluding the six-team effort. These alternatives were tier modification, track modification and pay to grade relationship modifications. (Author)
