Wideband Communication Equipment Specialty, AFSC 304X0.

Abstract

Inventory booklets were administered to Wideband Communications Equipment (AFS 304X0) personnel worldwide. Survey results are based on the responses of 996 incumbents (35 percent of assigned). DAFSC 304X0 personnel were found to be performing a wide variety of jobs. Twenty different jobs were identified, with a majority of the personnel performing maintenance or installation functions on a variety of wideband communications equipment. In addition, 12 of the 20 major job groups were identified as performing a nontechnical type of job involving administration, supervision, or training. Job satisfaction data for each of the 20 major job groups were examined, and the most dissatisfied personnel were found to be performing a job control or Engineering and Installation (E&I) type of job. Three-skill level personnel spend most of their time maintaining transmitters, performing support functions, performing equipment operation functions, or maintaining voice and teletype multiplexers. DAFSC 30450 personnel spend slightly less time on these types of duties and spend somewhat more time on supervisory or training functions. Seven-skill level personnel are primarily firstline supervisors, and roughly divide their time performing supervisory and radio maintenance duties.
