ASC/PK CONTRACTING: APPLYING FOR A JOB IN THIS CAREER FIELD OVERVIEW Applying for a job in the federal government can be a very confusing and daunting process. It seems like every base and organization utilizes different practices and procedures and there is some truth to that. The hiring laws, rules and guidelines in place apply to everyone, but implementation of the rules tends to differ by organization. It is our hope that the following information will bring some clarity to the process that ASC/PKX (the recruitment/hiring office for ASC at Wright Patt) uses when hiring contract negotiators. WHICH ORGANIZATIONS AT WRIGHT PATT HIRE CONTRACT NEGOTIATORS? WrightPattersonAirForceBase (WPAFB) is a big place and there are literally hundreds of organizations that call it “home”. Three of those WPAFB organizations employ the majority of the base’s contract negotiators (a term synonymous with “contract specialist”), approximately 750 in all: 1) AirForce Research Labs (AFRL Det 1/PK) employs approximately 120 contracts professionals who find and purchase the latest technology to be used in AirForce equipment; 2) Operational Contracting (88 AirBase Wing (ABW) CONS/PK) employs about 87 contracts professionals who are responsible for purchasing the repair of roads, the building of new facilities, and everything else necessary to support the infrastructure of an AirForceBase; and finally, 3) Aeronautical Systems Center (ASC/PK) employs the largest group of contract negotiators (about...

The enlisted AFSC consists of five alphanumeric characters: • Career group (Numerical) • Operations • Logistics & Maintenance • Support • Medical • Professional • Acquisition • Special Investigations • Special Duty Identifiers, typically used for Airmen chosen for specialized jobs • Reporting Identifiers, typically used for Airmen in transitive status: trainees, awaiting retraining, prisoner, etc. And occasionally for Airmen chosen for specialized jobs. • Career field (Alpha, different for each) • Career field subdivision (Numerical, different for each) • Skill level 1 – Helper (recruits or trainees in technical school) 3 – Apprentice (technical school graduates applying and expanding their job skills) 5 – Journeyman (experienced Airmen functioning as front-line technicians and initial trainers) 7 – Craftsman (Airmen with many years of experience in the specialty, responsible for supervision and training) 9 – Superintendent (Airmen in the grade of 0 – Chief Enlisted Manager (CEM) (Airmen in the grade of • Specific AFSC (Numeric, specialty within career field subdivision) For example, in the AFSC 1N371: • The career group is 1 (Operations) • The career field is N ( • The career field subdivision is 3 ( • The skill level is 7 (Craftsman) • The specific AFSC is 1 (Crypto-Linguist) For some specialties, an alpha prefix is used to denote a special ability, skill, qualification or system designator not restricted to a single AFSC (such as "X" for an aircrew position).

Share Article Four years after first announcing a program meant to help career Airmen have a chance to move to their preferred base in the U.S., the Air Force is suspending the program starting June 1, citing budgetary constraints and a low rate of Airmen actually getting to where they wanted to go. The end of the Base of Preference program was first detailed in a memo from Chief Master Sgt. Claudia Carcamo, the Air Force’s chief enlisted manager, In December 2018, the program was But according to Carcamo’s memo, the program failed more often than not in terms of actually getting Airmen to their preferred location. “The BOP program has historically matched less than 30% of applicants to their desired location,” the memo states. In response to a query from Air Force Magazine as to why that rate was so low, Air Force spokesperson Laurel Tingley cited several reasons why Airmen’s preferred bases aren’t always granted. For example, there may be no need for the Airman’s grade or AFSC at the new base; a move might cause manning issues at the old or new base; or the service member could be ineligible to PCS or already selected for another assignment. There can also be too many Airmen applying for too few spots. Florida is especially popular as a requested locale—MacDill Air Force Base, Eglin Air Force Base, and Hurlburt Field were all among the top five requested BOP locations. The memo gives no other reason for the program’s suspension, but when asked by Air Force Magazine, Ting...
