2/3/2012 - JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO, Texas (AFNS) -- Air Force Specialty Codes on the fiscal 2012 career job reservation constrained list were updated effective Feb. 1, Air Force officials announced. Four AFSCs were added to the constrained list, and three were removed.

The career job reservations program enables the Air Force to control the number of first-term Airmen who reenlist in career fields where projected manning levels exceed Air Force needs.

Additions to the constrained list are:

-- 1P0X1, Aircrew Flight Equipment
-- 2A0X1S, Avionics Test Station and Components, Avionic Systems
-- 2A6X2, Aerospace Ground Equipment
-- 2S0X1, Materiel Management

The following have been removed from the constrained list:

-- 3D1X3, Radio Frequency Transmission Systems
-- 3E9X1, Emergency Management
-- 8M000, Postal

The complete list of AFSCs and career fields on the constrained list effective Feb. 1 are:

-- 1P0X1, Aircrew Flight Equipment
-- 2A0X1S, Avionics Test Station and Components, Avionic Systems
-- 2A6X1, Aerospace Propulsion
-- 2A6X2, Aerospace Ground Equipment
-- 2A6X4, Aircraft Fuel Systems
-- 2A7X3, Aircraft Structural Maintenance
-- 2S0X1, Materiel Management
-- 2T0X1, Traffic Management
-- 2T1X1, Vehicle Operations
-- 3D1X1, Client Systems Technician
-- 3E7X1, Fire Protection
-- 3M0X1, Services
-- 3N0X4, Still Photography
-- 3P0X1, Security Forces
-- 4A1X1, Medical Materiel
-- 4A2X1, Biomedical Equipment
-- 4Y0X1, Dental

First-term Airmen in those AFSCs who are in their CJR window as of Feb. 1 are affected, said Chief Master Sgt. Shannon Parker, the Air Force Personnel Center's chief of Air Force skills management branch. "All first-term Airmen must have an approved CJR to reenlist," she said.

The Selective Reenlistment Program automatically requests a CJR for first-term Airmen when they enter their first month of eligibility. Airmen serving in a constrained AFSC will be added to a waiting list and compete for monthly quotas based on a rank-order process.

Starting in February, Airmen and their supervisors will receive monthly CJR notifications reflecting their status. The virtual Military Personnel Flight will also be updated to reflect the Airman's CJR status.

First-term Airmen in constrained AFSCs may not extend for any reason while pending a CJR or while on the CJR wait-list. The exception is Airmen overseas who need retainability to be eligible for a CONUS return assignment.

All first-term Airmen, including those on the CJR waiting list, may apply for retraining or a special duty, officials said. Airmen who do not have an approved CJR and have not been selected for retraining may reapply for retraining or special duty if they are not within 120 days of separation.

Constrained AFSC quota updates will be posted on the Air Force Personnel Services website as they occur at https://gum-crm.csd.disa.mil.

I dont understand why us who have served in both wars and 2 or 3 bases with no negative paperwork are getting forced out by tech school is pushing hundreds through every few months. Not understanding at all.

Duff I completely agree with you. I am one of those NCO's with no experience. Going from Radio Mx to Client Systems has left me and many others at a huge disadvantage. I feel this was a huge mistake by the AF. They jumped the gun and did not consider the high learning curve we would have.

What I don't understand is why the training continues to follow through for 3D1's Move a bunch of NCO's with no experience in the field over to Client Systems yet the ones who get placed on the chopping block are the Airmen fresh out of tech school.

This list makes no sense. We are hurting in the Maintenance fields yet we are cutting CJRs and cross-training these people And SFS too. Totally out of touch with reality.
