Aircraft Command Control Communications and Navigation Systems, AFSC 2A4X3, OSSN: 2308
Abstract
1. Survey Coverage: The Aircraft Command Control Communications and Navigation Systems career ladder was surveyed to provide current job and task data for use in updating career ladder documents and training programs. Survey results are based on responses from 273 members accounting for 72 percent of the total population surveyed. 2. Specialty Jobs: Three jobs and one cluster were identified in the career ladder structure analysis. The Flightline Maintenance Cluster and the UAV Job are totally oriented toward technical task performance and account for 85 percent of the population. The remaining jobs are management and training in nature. 3. Career Ladder Profession: A somewhat typical pattern of progression is noted within the AFSC 2A4X3 career ladder. Personnel at the 3- and 5-skill levels work in the technical jobs of the career ladder and spend most of their time on technical tasks. As incumbents move up to the 7-skill level they begin to perform supervisory tasks, but still spend some of their time performing the technical tasks of the career ladder. 4. Training Analysis: The current STS warrants review of proficiency coding based on survey data. Many tasks with high percentages of members performing and high training emphasis are dashed in the STS. 5. Job Satisfaction: Job satisfaction among AFSC 2A4X3 personnel is slightly higher for first-enlistment and slightly lower for second-enlistment members than the comparative sample of like maintenance AFSCs. Reenlistment intentions are lower than the comparative sample for first- and second-enlistment personnel. All TAFMS groups rate perceived utilization of training lower than the comparative sample. 6. Implications: Survey results indicate the present classification structure accurately portrays the jobs performed in this career ladder. The career ladder progression is typical of most AFSCs. Training documents warrant review for proficiency coding.
