The Career Job Reservation System. Is the Issuance System Best Serving the Needs of the Air Force?
Abstract
The Career Job Reservation issuance system, a part of the Selective Reenlistment Program, functions on a quota basis and is perceived by commanders and airmen to have many inequities. Since the Air Force must restrict the size of the career enlisted force, reenlistment is permitted only if a valid requirement can be filled. To prevent shortages and surpluses, monthly reenlistment quotas are established and controlled by the use of a reservation system. Although the system is serving the basic needs of the Air Force, major changes are in order to remove some of the inequities, correct perceptions, and improve procedures. The proposed changes involve: (1) converting from use of protected months to protected quarters, (2) realigning the priority of quality factors, (3) rank-ordering the waiting list, (4) expanding the eligibility for wing commander overrides, (5) improving publicity and advertising to airmen and commanders, and (6) developing a subjective value assessment score to be given by the unit commander at the time of selection for reenlistment.
