As we recently reported, the Air Force recently announced that it would start the first phase of its fiscal 2014 NCO Retraining Program (NCORP), which invites noncommissioned officers to cross-train into undermanned career fields and be reclassified with a new Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC). Potentially, those that are currently in overmanned career fields and choose not to participate in NCORP could face forced retraining or, in the worst-case scenario, separation from the Air Force entirely.

Today, the Air Force Personnel Center announced six enlisted career fields will be removed from the career job reservation constrained list, while 17 others will see lower quotas, beginning June 15.

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas - Six enlisted career fields will be removed from the career job reservation constrained list, while 17 others will see lower quotas, beginning June 15, Air Force Personnel Center officials said today.

The career job reservation program enables the Air Force to manage the number of first-term Airmen who reenlist in career fields where projected manning levels exceed Air Force needs, said Mike McLaughlin, AFPC reenlistments chief.

"All first term Airmen must have a career job reservation to reenlist," McLaughlin said. "Removing an AFSC from the constrained list is good news for Airmen on the waiting list."

Career fields slated for removal:

• 1N2X1C, Signals Intelligence Analyst-Comm
• 2G0X1, Logistics Plans
• 2R0X1, Maintenance Management Analysis
• 3D0X1, Knowledge Operations Management
• 3D1X1, Client Systems
• 4J0X2, Physical Medicine

Airmen who are on the CJR waiting list when those fields come off the constrained list will receive their CJR. Of the 18 fields still on the constrained list, one remains unchanged and quotas will decrease for each of the other 17.

CJR quota decrease list:

• 2P0X1, Precision Measurement Equipment Laboratory
• 2S0X1, Material Management
• 2T1X1, Vehicle Operations
• 2T3X2C, Special Vehicle Maintenance-Material Handling Equipment
• 2T3X7, Vehicle Management and Analysis
• 3D1X3, RF Transmission Systems
• 3D1X5, Ground Radar Systems
• 3D1X6, Airfield Systems
• 3E0X1, Electrical Systems
