Electronic Computer and Switching Systems, AFSC 2E2X1.
Abstract
Electronic Computer and Switching Systems personnel install electronic computer and switching systems and missile control communications; assemble, connect, and interwire components of data transmission, processing, and display equipment; perform preventive maintenance; and repair, modify, and inspect electronic computer, switching systems, and missile control communications equipment. Personnel entering the AFSC 2E2X1 career ladder must attend the Electronic Computer and Switching Systems Apprentice course at Keesler AFB MS lasting 67 academic days. Upon completion of this course, the graduate is awarded the 3-skill level. The student may then choose to keep the slick AFSC rating, or attend one of the follow-on shred-awarding courses at Keesler AFB. A-shred personnel maintain Modular Control Equipment (NICE). B-shred personnel maintain airborne computer systems, including the E-3A Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS). C-shred personnel maintain strategic communications, such as missile control communications. Previously, AFSC 2E2Xl personnel were awarded a D-shred as well, but today that shred is awarded only to Air National (Juard personnel. The training school for the D-shred course is located at Tyndall AFB FL, and focuses on Joint Surveillance Systems maintenance. No D-shred personnel were surveyed; therefore, the D-shred will not be discussed in this report.
