SUMMARY OF RESULTS

1. Survey Coverage: Inventory booklets were administered worldwide to Cor-rosion ontrol (AM 427XI) incumbents during the summer of 1987. The 1,097respondents in the survey sample represent 65 percent of all assigned Corro-sion Control personnel. All major using commands are well represented in thesurvey sample.

2. Career Ladder Structure: Two clusters and four independent job typeswere identified in the analysis. Both clusters and one independent job typewere directly involved in the performance of various technical duties of thecareer ladder. The remaining independent job types were oriented towardsupervisory, administrative, supply, and quality assurance functions.

3. Career Ladder Progression: The 3- and 5-skill level jobs were quitetechnical in nature, with very limited responsibilities at the 5-skill levelfor supervision-type duties. Seven-skill level members, on the other hand,perform limited technical duties while reporting increasing responsibility forsupervisory and managerial duties.

4. AFR 39-1 Specialty Description: All descriptions accurately depict thecharacteristics of the respective jobs. Only two minor adjustments are sug-gested in the Corrosion Control Specialist description.

5. Training Analysis: Due to the planned RIVET WORKFORCE merger of AFSCs427X1 an47X5 into AFSC 458X2 in October 1989, two Specialty Training Stand-ards (STS) were analyzed. The current STS for AFSC 427X1 is generally wellsupported by survey data, with just a few elements requiring review due tononsupporting survey data. The same is true for the proposed STS for AFSC458X2, as it pertains to the corrosion control portion of that STS. The Planof Instruction (POI) for AFSC 427XI has seven units of instruction, with someobjectives which require review due to the low percentage of first-enlistmentairmen performing tasks trained. Some tasks not matched to training documentsrequire evaluation for possible inclusion in the training program.

6. Additional Issues: The request by training personnel for information onthe performance of sealing functions and advanced composite structure andhoneycomb core repair functions was accommodated by two duty sections in thejob inventory. Data reflect that very few airmen perform these functions,with relative time spent on these tasks only 1 percent or less. Informationrequested by the Air Force Corrosion Program Manager on annual industrialphysical examinations was gathered by background questions. The data reflectthat a high percentage of AFSC 427X1 personnel have had the required examina-tion during the previous year.

7. Implications: The training program is well grounded and appears to beoperating effectively. Only minor adjustments to the STS and POI appear war-ranted. Data from the survey should be of value in preparing for the proposedRIVET WORKFORCE merger.

OCCUPATIONAL SURVEY REPORTCORROSION CONTROL CAREER LADDER

(AFSC 427XI)

INTRODUCTION

This is a report of an occupational survey of the Corrosion Controlcareer ladder completed by the USAF Occupational Measurement Center in May1988. The career ladder was previously surveyed in 1979, with the surveyresults being published in November of that year. The present survey wasrequested by the 3700th Technical Training Wing, Sheppard Technical TrainingCenter, to obtain current task and equipment data for use in evaluation ofcurrent training programs.

In addition to surveying active duty personnel, full-time Reserve Compo-nent personnel, including members of Reserve and National Guard units, werealso included in this survey. The purpose for including these personnel inthe survey was to gather data on them as a group and to determine whetherthere are discernible differences between active and reserve component cate- Sgories of personnel. Data gathered from Reserve Component personnel wereanalyzed separately, and the results will be published in a separate reportlater this year.

Survey data for active duty AFSC 427X1 personnel will provide much neededinformation to be used in the upcoming RIVET WORKFORCE-directed merger of AFSC427XI and AFSC 427X5, Airframe Repair career ladder. The newly created careerladder will be designated as AFSC 458X2, Aircraft Structural Maintenance Spe-cialty. The implementation date for the merger is tentatively set for31 October 1989.

Background

Since its creation as a separate career ladder in 1976 with the estab-lishment of AFSC 531X4 from AFSC 530X0, Metal Worker, the 427XI specialty hashad a fairly stable history. In 1977, the AFSC was changed from 531X4 to427X1, with no change in responsibility. AFR 39-1 specialty descriptionsstate that AFSC 427X1 personnel identify corrosion and apply preservativetreatment to metal surfaces of missiles, aircraft, and support equipment tomeet requirements for preservation, elimination of deterioration, and effectcorrosion control for Air Force equipment.

Entry into the career ladder is from Basic Military Training School(BMTS) through a Category A, 6-week, 1-day formal training course (3ABR42731)conducted at Sheppard AFB TX. A score of 51 in the mechanical part of theArmed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is currently required toenter the career ladder.

SURVEY METHODOLOGY

Inventory Development

Data for this survey were collected using USAF Job Inventory AFPT90-427-777 (April 1987). The Inventory Developer reviewed pertinent careerladder documents, the previous OSR, and previous inventory, and then prepareda tentative task list. This preliminary task list was then refined and vali-dated through personal interviews with 81 subject-matter experts assigned tooperational locations selected to cover a variety of major commands (MAJCOM)and varying functions at the following bases:

MacDill AFB FL Recommerded by TAC Functional Manager and AFMPC Func-tional Representative as a base with climatic con-ditions which would require a great deal of work inthe corrosion field

Laughlin AFB TX Recommended by ATC Functional Manager as one of ATC'slargest corrosion control shops

Randolph AFB TX Recommended by ATC Functional Manager and AFMPC Func-tional Representative as a base with small, butdiversified, corrosion control functions

Norton AFB CA Recommended by MAC and AFLC Functional Managers as abase with a refurbishment function not found atother bases

Nellis AFB NV Recommended by TAC Functional Manager and AFMPC Func-tional Representative as a base with two organiza-tions supporting different aircraft

The resulting inventory contains a comprehensive list of 918 tasksgrouped into 21 duty headings. There are standard background questions askingfor grade, duty title, functional level, duty AFSC, time in service, and timein career ladder. In addition, there are questions requesting such informa-tion as tools and equipment used, corrosion control materials used, job satis-faction, intent to reenlist, and a number of questions concerning annualindustrial physical examinations.

Survey Administration

From May through October 1987, Consolidated Base Personnel Offices inworldwide operational units administered the surveys to Corrosion Controlmilitary personnel. Participants came from a computer-generated mailing listprovided by the Air Force Human Resources Laboratory (AFHRL).

All individuals who filled out an inventory first completed an identifi-cation and biographical information section. Next, they answered questions inthe background portion of the inventory. They were then directed to gothrough the booklet and check each task performed in their current job.Finally, they were asked to go back and rate each task they had checked usinga 9-point scale reflecting relative time spent on each task compared to allother tasks. Ratings ranged from 1 (indicating a very small amount of timespent) to 9 (indicating a very large amount of time spent). The relative per-cent time spent on tasks was computed by first totaling all rating values onthe inventory. Then the rating value for each task was divided by this total

and the result multiplied by 100. The percent time spent ratings were usedwith the percent members performing values to help describe the various groupsin the career ladder.

Survey Sample

All eligible military personnel were provided survey booklets. Therespondents represent an accurate and proportional representation of MAJCOMsand paygrades for this career ladder. Table 1 reflects how the sample com-pares to the actual population of the career ladder in terms of the distribu-tion across MAJCOMs, while Table 2 shows the paygrade distribution. Thesedata indicate a good representation of the career ladder in the final surveysample.

Task Factor Administration

Job descriptions alone do not provide sufficient data for making deci-sions about career ladder documents or training programs. Task factor infor-mation is needed for a complete analysis of the career ladder. To obtain theneeded task factor data, selected E-6 and E-7 supervisors completed either atraining emphasis (TE) or task difficulty (TD) booklet. These booklets wereprocessed separately from the job inventories and the TE and TD data were usedin several analyses discussed later in this report.

Training Emphasis (TE). Training emphasis is the amount of structuredtraining that first-term AFSC 427X1 personnel need to successfully performtasks. Structured training is defined as training provided by resident tech-nical schools, field training detachments (FTD), mobile training teams (MTT),formal OJT, or any other organized training method. Fifty-one experiencedsupervisors completed TE booklets. They rated the tasks in the inventory on a10-point scale ranging from no training required (0) to extremely high train-ing emphasis (9). Interrater reliability (as assessed through components ofvariance of standard group means) for these raters was .94, indicating highagreement among raters.

When TE ratings are used with other information, such as percent membersperforming and task difficulty, they can provide insight into trainingrequirements and help validate the need for organized training for the careerladder.

Task Difficulty (TD). Task difficulty is defined as the length of timethe average airman takes to learn how to perform a task. Forty-six experi-enced supervisors rated the difficulty of the tasks in the inventory on a9-point scale ranging from 1 (easy to learn) to 9 (very difficult to learn).Ratings were adjusted so tasks of average difficulty would have a value of5.0. Interrater reliability (as assessed through components of variance ofstandard group means) was .95, indicating very high agreement among raters.

TD ratings, when used with percent members performing values and TE rat-ings, can provide a great deal of insight into training requirements, helpvalidate the need for organized training, and be used to evaluate plans ofinstruction for the career ladder.

SPECIALTY JOBS(Career Ladder Structure)

A USAF occupational analysis begins with an examination of the careerladder structure. The structure of jobs within the Corrosion Control careerladder was examined on the basis of similarity of tasks performed and the per-cent of time spent ratings provided by job incumbents, independent of otherspecialty background factors.

Each individual in the sample performs a set of tasks called a job. Forthe purpose of organizing individual jobs into similar units of work, an auto-mated job clustering program is used. This hierarchical grouping program is abasic part of the Comprehensive Occupational Data Analysis Progranm (CODAP)system for job analysis. Each individual job description (all the tasks per-formed by that individual and the relative amount of time spent on t~nsetasks) in the sample is compared to every other job description in terms oftasks performed and the relative amount of time spent on each task in the jobinventory. The automated system is designed to locate the two job descrip-tions with the most similar tasks and percent time ratings and combine them toform a composite job description. In successive stages, new members are addedto initial groups, or new groups are formed based on the similarity of tasksperformed and similar time ratings in the individual job descriptions.

The basic identifying group used in the hierarchical job structuringprocess is the job te. When there is a substantial degree of similaritybetween job types, They are grouped together and identified as a cluster.Specialized job types too dissimilar to fit within a cluster are labeledindependent job types. The job structure information resulting from thisgrouping process (tne various jobs within the career ladder) can be used toevaluate the accuracy of career ladder documents (AFR 39-1 Specialty Descrip-tions and Specialty Training Standards) and to gain a better understanding ofcurrent utilization patterns. The above terminology will be used in the dis-cussion of the AFSC 427XI career ladder structure.

Overview of Specialty JobsResponses from AFSC 427XI personnel in the survey sample indicate a

career ladder where most people perform a rather large number of common tasks.Even so, based on some variations in combinations of tasks performed, struc-ture analysis identified two clusters and four independent job types withinthe survey sample. Based on task similarity and relative time spent, thedivision of jobs performed by AFSC 427XI personnel is illustrated in Figure 1,and a listing of those jobs is provided below. The stage (STG) number shown

More than 73 percent of their relative job time is devoted to tasks asso-ciated with applying protective coating to surfaces, performing general corro-sion control functions, maintaining corrosion control equipment, removingcorrosion and protective coatings, and performln maintenance on safety equip-ment. Of the average 194 tasks performed, typical ones include:

preparing surfaces using pneumatic sandersapplying masking materials to surfacesremoving masking materials from surfacesmixing paintspreparing polyurethane coating for applicationcleaning equipment after applying protective coatinascleaning respirators

Although five jobs were identified within the cluster, three of them(Aircr3ft/Spray Painters, General Corrosion Control Personnel, and ExperiencedCorrosion Control Personnel) differed primarily because of the experiencelevel of the groups and the increasing average number of tasks performed. Ofthe two remaining jobs, the Missile Corrosion Control Personnel job was iden-tified as a result of the amount of relative time spent in the missile areas.The final job, Shift/Crew Leader Personnel, perform the broadest spectrum oftasks of any group in the survey. Their average of 334 tasks includes notonly the technical corrosion control tasks, but also tasks in the supervisoryfunctional area.

Members of this cluster report an average grade of E-4, with an averageof about 5 years in both the career field and TAFMS. Fifty-two percent arestill in their first enlistment, and 67 percent report holding a 5-skill levelDAFSC.

II. ASSISTANT SHOP CHIEFS (STGlI3, N=13). The 13 members (1 percent ofsample) forming this-n-depenn-d'ent7ob Fperform a rather broad spectrum of tasks,including many technical tasks. They are, however, differentiated from theother groups in the survey because of the relative time spent (54 percent)performing general corrosion control, administrative, and supply tasks,including the maintenance of safety and corrosion control equipment. Theaverage grade for these individuals is E-5, while they average 11 years in thecareer field. Typical tasks of the 194 average performed include:

maintaining AF Forms 2413 (Supply Control Log Forms)initiating AF Forms 2005 (Issue/Turn in Requests)reviewing priority monitor reports (D-18)inspecting face shields for condition and cleanlinessinspecting air hosesdriving government vehicles, such as sedans and trucks

III. CORROSION CONTROL SHOP CHIEFS CLUSTER (STG096, N=70). This clusterof 70 indf iuals represents--percent 6 Feisurvey sample-. They perform awide range of tasks, averaging 220 per individual. A great deal of their dutytime is dedicated to organizing, planning, inspecting, evaluating, performingadministrative functions, directing, and implementing. In addition to theseduties, representing 60 percent of their relative duty time, they spendanother 26 percent of their time performing general supply and training tasks,plus tasks in the technical duties of general corrosion control, maintenanceof safety equipment, and inspection of aircraft, support eouipment, and mis-siles. This group has an average grade of E-6, with an average of 13 years inthe career field and 14 years TAFMS. Typical tasks performed by these super-visors include:

writing APRplanning work assignmentsevaluating individual job performanceestablishing work prioritiesdirecting shop maintenance activitiesassigning OJT trainersreviewing daily document registers (DO4)reviewing priority monitor reports (D-18)

Within the cluster are two different jobs, General Corrosion Control ShopChiefs and Missile Corrosion Control Shop Chiefs. The differences betweenthese two groups are that the General Corrosion Control Shop Chiefs report abroader range of tasks performed (average of 248 vs 113) and the Missile Cor-rosion Control Shop Chiefs perform missile-related tasks and are members ofmissile maintenance organizations.

IV. SENIOR CORROSION CONTROL MANAGERS (STGlOl, N=17). This independentjob type o-f-TT-individuals represents 2 percent o-f thesurvey sample. Theyperform an average of only 83 tasks in a rather narrow job. Seventy-eightpercent of their relative time is spent in the performance of organizing,planning, inspecting, evaluating, directing, implementing, and administrative-type tasks. This is the most senior group of the survey, with the averagegrade of its members being E-7. They have an average of 15 years in thecareer field and 17 years TAFMS. Typical tasks performed by these managersinclude:

counseling personnel on personal or military-relatedproblems

V. SUPPLY/ADMINISTRATIVE SUPERVISORY PERSONNEL (STG090, N=lO). These10 members, representing 1 percent of the sample, haveItFe narrowest job ofany group in the survey, averaging only 65 tasks per individual. They spend80 percent of their relative time organizing and planning, inspecting, evalu-ating, directing, implementing, and performing supply and administrative func-tional tasks. The members have an average grade of E-6 and average 11 yearsin the career field. Typical tasks performed include:

planning work assignmentscounseling personnel on personal or military-relatedproblems

coordinating flightline dispatch work with job controlmaintaining AF Forms 2413 (Supply Control Logs)reviewing priority monitor reports (D-18)writing APR

VI. QUALITY ASSURANCE PERSONNEL (STGO49, N=12). The 12 members (0 per-cent of sampleT formi ng this'independent job group are differentiated from theoverall sample because of their specialization on tasks pertaining to inspect-ing and evaluating. They spend 60 percent of their relative time on tasksinvolved in inspecting, evaluating, performing maintenance on safety equip-ment, performing administrative functions, and inspecting aircraft, supportequipment, and missiles. These comparatively senior personnel, with an aver-age grade of E-6 and an average of 10 years in the career fipld, perform arather narrow job, averaging only 91 tasks per individual. The title mostfrequently provided by these individuals was Quality Assurance Inspector.Typical quality assurance tasks performed by these personnel include:

performing inspections using technical orders (TO)evaluating compliance with performance standardsinspecting the condition and cleanliness of differentpieces of safety apparel

inspecting condition of protective coatingevaluating individual job performanceinspecting safety equipmentevaluating maintenance of equipmentevaluating administrative functions

Summary

Two clusters and four independent job types were identified in the careerladder structure analysis. The majority of career ladder incumbents (81 per-cent) grouped into one cluster (Corrosion Control Personnel), which performedthe full range of the technical corrosion functions. Other smaller job groupswere involved not only with technical aspects of the career ladder, but alsowere heavily involved with supervisory, supply, and administrative areas. Nonoteworthy degree of specialization within the career ladder was identified.The career ladder appears to be very homogeneous, with the vast majority of

personnel performing essentially the same basic job. Thus, the specialty liobanalysis and the survey data tend to support the current career ladderstructure.

Comparison of Current Survey to Previous Survey

The results of the specialty job analysis were compared to those of Occu-pational Survey Report (OSR) AFPT 90-427-385, CORROSION CONTROL, datedNovember 1979. Table 4 displays a comparison of the Corrosion Control spe-cialty jobs identified in each of the two studies. After reviewing the taskscomprising the jobs identified in 1979, it was determined that most of thegroups could be linked with similar task performances by 1987 sample groups.The appearance of differences (i.e., some of the specific job titles) is asurface difference only, and can be attributed to modifications to the tasklist or to the analysis and the analytical approach used.

Aside from some minor variations involving small numbers of personnel(i.e., the identification of the Supply/Administrative Supervisory Personnel),it can be stated that the vast majority of the current sample could be matchedto AFSC 427XI jobs identified in 1979, thus displaying a relatively stablecareer ladder over time.

ANALYSIS OF DAFSC GROUPS

DAFSC analysis identifies similarities and differences in task and dutyperformance at the various skill levels. This information may then be used toevaluate how well career ladder documents, such as AFR 39-1 Specialty Descrip-tions and the STS, reflect what career ladder personnel are actually doing inthe field.

Comparison of the duty and task performance between DAFSC 42731 and 42751personnel indicated that, while there are some minor differences, the jobsthey perform are essentially the same. These two groups have an 87 percenttime-spent overlap on common tasks, which supports the premise that they havethe same job. Therefore, they will be discussed as a combined group in thisreport. Survey data, if desired, will also be available for each separateskill level.

The distribution of skill-level personnel (AFSCs 42731/51 and 42771)across major specialty jobs is reflected in Table 5, while Table 6 shows therelative time spent on each duty for each skill-level group.

The AFSC 427X1 career ladder shows a very typical career progression pat-tern as one advances from skill level to skill level. As shown in Table 6,personnel in the 3- and 5-skill levels are spending the majority of their jobtime in technical duties (Duties G, H, I, J, K, L, M, Q, and R). At the7-skill level, percent time spent in these technical duty areas drops substan-tially, from 86 percent for 3- and 5-skill levels to 46 percent for the

7-skill level group. Even with this rather large drop in percent time sperton technical tasks, there is still a 65 percent overlap between the twogroups. The overlap between the two groups shows the homogeneity of the AFSC,while the clear shift in relative time spent on the performance of supervisoryand managerial duties (Duties A, B, and C) at the 7-skill level reflects alogical and typical career progression for the career ladder. Table 7 pro-vides a different perspective by displaying representative tasks for eachgroup and showing differences in relative time spent between them.

Skill Level Descriptions

DAFSC 42731/51. The 794 airmen in the 3- and 5-skill level group (represent-Tog 72 percent of the survey sample) performed an average of 175 tasks, with50 percent of their time spent on 110 tasks. Performing a highly technicaljob, 51 percent of their relative duty time is devoted to performing generalcorrosion control functions, removing corrosion and protective coatings, andapplying protective coatings. An additional 22 percent of their time is spentin maintaining corrosion control and safety equipment. As shown in Table 5,92 percent of these airmen are included in the technically-oriented job ofCorrosion Control Personnel. Table 7 displays selected tasks representativeof those performed by a majority of these airmen (see highlighted column upperhalf of table) and compared with responses provided by 7-skill level person-nel. The arrangement of this table provtdes an easy method of comparing thecommonality and differences between the two groups. As can be quickly ascer-tained, tasks common to 3- and 5-skill level personnel are also performed byfairly high percentages of the 7-skill level members.

DAFSC 42771. Seven-skill level personnel (28 percent of the survey sample)perform an average of 196 tasks, with 157 tasks taking up over 50 percent oftheir relative time. Eighty percent of 7-skill level personnel report super-vising one or more individuals, but only 40 percent of their relative time isspent on tasks in the usual supervisory, managerial, training, and administra-tive duties (see Table 6). This relatively low supervisory activity is alsohighlighted by the fact that only 30 percent of the 303 people forming thisr oup are found in the four jobs which are clearly supervisory in natureAssistant Shop Chiefs, Corrosion Control Shop Chiefs, Senior Corrosion Con-trol Managers, and Supply/Administrative Supervisors) as discussed earlier inthe SPECIALTY JOBS section. Table 5 reflects that 53 percent of these peopleare in the technically-oriented jobs found in the Corrosion Control Personnelcluster. The highlighted portion of Table 7 clearly shows that the seniorpersonnel are responsible for supervision, while the upper portion of thetable reflects the wide range of technical tasks a high percentage of theseindividuals also perform.

Summary

Career ladder progression is evident, with personnel at the 3- and5-skill levels spending the vast majority of their job time performing techni-cal tasks. At the 7-skill level, although members spend more than half theirrelative duty time in the technical areas of the AFSC duties, the shift tosupervisory functions is still quite clear.

ANALYSIS OF AFR 39-1 SPECIALTY DESCRIPTIONS

Survey data were compared to the AFR 39-1 Specialty Descriptions for Cor-rosion Control Specialists and Supervisors, both dated 1 February 1988. Eachspeciality description will be discussed separately.

The description for the 3- and 5-skill levels is quite accurate indescribing the overall job performed by these personnel. There is, however,one item in the AFR 39-1 Specialty Description that needs to be reviewed. Thetask statements in paragraph 2a pertaining to determination of metal identityby subjecting it to chemical and mechanical tests need to be deleted or deem-phasized. The highest response for chemical testing methods identifying metalwas only 6 percent. The highest response for mechanical testing methods was12 percent of 5-skill level using the magnetic test, and no more than 5 per-cent using the other four testing methods.

The Corrosion Control Supervisor description accurately reflects both thesupervisory and technical aspects of the 7-skill level job. The high percentof members performing and the relative time spent in the technical areas isvery succinctly covered by the concise description for performing technicalcorrosion control functions section of the regulation.

TRAINING ANALYSIS

Occupational survey data are one of the many sources of information thatcan be used to assist in the development of a training program which is rele-vant to the needs of personnel in their first enlistment. Factors which maybe used in evaluating training include the overall description of the jobbeing performed by first-enlistment personnel and their overall distributionacross career ladder jobs, percentages of first-job (1-24 month TAFMS) orfirst-enlistment (1-48 months TAFMS) members performing specific tasks orusing certain equipment or materials, as well as TE and TD ratings (previouslyexplained in the SURVEY METHODOLOGY section).

To assist specifically in the evaluation of the Specialty Training Stand-ards (STS) and the Plan of Instructior (POI), technical school personnel fromSheppard Technical Training Center matched job inventory tasks to appropriatesections and subsections of the AFSC 427X1 STS, AFSC 45BX2 proposed draft STS,

and 3ABR42731 CO0 POI. It was this matching upon which comparison to thosedocuments was based. A complete computer listing displaying the percent mem-bers performing tasks, TE and TO ratings for each task, along with the STS andPOI matchings, has been forwarded to the technical school for their use infurther detailed reviews of training documents. A summary of this informationis presented below.

First-Enlistment Personnel

There are 481 DAFSC 427XI members in their first enlistment (1-48 monthsTAFMS), representing 44 percent of the total survey sample. The job performedby these personnel is very technically oriented and covers the gamut of corro-sion control technical activities. As reflected in Table 8, approximately 91percent of their duty time is devoted to technical task performance. Distri-bution of these personnel across the career ladder jobs is displayed in Figure2, which shows 97 percent of the respondents working in the Corrosion ControlPersonnel cluster, with less than 1 percent in the other job types and allothers ungrouped. Table 9 shows representative tasks performed by first-enlistment AFSC 427X1 personnel.

One of the objectives of this survey project was to gather data for thetechnical training center pertaining to types of tools or eouipment and corro-sion control materials used by personnel in the field. Tables 10 and 11 pre-sent percentages of first-term airmen responding to questions concerning theiractivities involving these items. This type of information is useful to boththe technical school and MAJCOM training personnel, to assist them in focusinglimited training time or other resources on the most appropriate types ofequipment and materials. This should also be of value during the mergerefforts.

Training Emphasis and Training Difficulty Data

Tasks having the highest TE ratings are listed in Table 12. Included foreach task are also the percentage of first-enlistment personnel performing andthe TD rating. The tasks listed are all technical in nature. They should notbe considered as all-inclusive or the only ones to be reviewed. Table 13lists the tasks having the highest TD ratings. The percentage of first-enlistment personnel performing and the TE rating are also included for eachtask. The majority of these tasks are not technically-oriented corrosion con-trol tasks, nor are they performed by many first-enlistment personnel. Thelist should not be considered as all-inclusive. TE and TD data are secondaryfactors that can assist technical school personnel in deciding what tasksshould be emphasized in entry-level training. These ratings, based on thejudgements of senior career ladder NCO working at operational units in thefield, are collected to provide training personnel with a rank-ordering ofthose tasks considered important for first-term airmen training (TE), alongwith a measure of the difficulty of those tasks (TD). When combined with dataon the percentages of first-enlistment personnel performing tasks, comparisonscan then be made to determine if training adjustments are necessary. Forexample, tasks receiving high ratings on both task factors, accompanied by

moderate to high percentages performing, may warrant resident training. Thosetasks receiving high task factor ratings, but low percentages performing, maybe more appropriately planned for OJT programs within the career ladder. Low Ptask factor ratings may highlight tasks best omitted from training for first-term personnel, but this decision must be weighed against percentages of per-sonnel performing the tasks, command concerns, and criticality of the tasks.Various lists of tasks, accompanied by TE and TD ratings, are contained in theTRAINING EXTRACT package and should be reviewed in detail by technical schoolpersonnel. (For additional information on TE and TD ratings, see Task FactorAdministration in the SURVEY METHODOLOGY section of this report.)

Specialty Training Standard (STS)

Due to the upcoming RIVET WORKFORCE merger and the availability of boththe present AFSC 427X1 STS (dated June 1977 w/ch 4, August 1986) and the pro-posed draft AFSC 458X2 STS (dated 20 November 1987), both documents were usedIn the analytical process. Both documents were subjected to a comprehensivereview and compared to survey data. STS paragraphs containing general knowl-edge information, subject-matter knowledge requirements, or supervisoryresponsibilities were not evaluated.

AFSC 427X1 STS. Overall, the AFSC 427X1 STS provides comprehensive coverageof the work performed in the field, with survey data supporting each of thesignificant paragraphs and most of the subparagraphs.

Table 14 reflects six areas that require review by training personnel andsubject-matter experts. Paragraphs 3a and 3d have 3-skill level proficiencycodes requiring task knowledge and performance proficiency. Although they aresupported at the 7-skill level by at least 20 percent members performing, thevery low percent members performing (7 percent) for first-job and first-enlistment personnel, plus low to average TE and TD ratings, indicate a pos-sible dash (-) proficiency coding for 3-skill level personnel would be moreappropriate. Paragraphs 8c(2), 8c(3), 8c(5), and 14d are similar to the pre-vious two, with the exception that the paragraphs are not supported at anylevel. These four paragraphs should be reviewed to determine if retention inthe STS is warranted.

Tasks not matched to any element of the STS are listed at the end of theSTS computer listing. These were reviewed to determine if there were anytasks concentrated around any particular functions or jobs. No particulartrends were noted. Examples of technical tasks performed by 20 percent ormore respondents of the STS target groups, but not referenced to any STS ele-ment, are shown in Table 15. Training personnel and subject-matter expertsshould ieview these and other eligible unreferenced tasks to determine ifinclusion in the STS is justified.

AFSC 458X2 Draft STS. Due to the fact that the proposed draft AFSC 458X2 STSincludes information from two separate AFSCs merged into a single AFSC, manyportions of the STS have no tasks matched. Paragraphs to which the technicaltraining personnel matched tasks were reviewed to determine whether they aresupported by the survey data. Table 16 lists two paragraphs (5a and 5f) that

should be reviewed and evaluated to determine if the 3-level proficiency codeshould be changed to a dash. Although supported at the 7-skill level, thefirst-job and first-enlistment percentages are way below the recommended 20percent members performing. Table 16 also provides an additional 19 subpara-graphs (5d(3), llc(2), llc(3), llc(5) 12c(2), 12c(5), 12d(2), 12e(2), 12e(3),L2e(4), 12e(5), 12f(2), 12f(3), 12f(4), 12f(5), 12g(2), 12g(3), 12g(4), and12g(5)) that should be reviewed for possible deletion from the STS for thecorrosion control functional area of responsibilities due to low percent mem-bers performing. If, however, they are items which will be performed by allpersonnel in the restructured AFSC, then retaining them in this proposed STSmay be essential. This also provides information on areas where personnelpresently holding AFSC 427X1 would require upgrade training because they pres-ently are not performing these tasks.

Tasks not matched to any element of the STS are listed at the end of theSTS computer listing. Potential task concentration around specific functionsor jobs was reviewed and no particular trends were noted. In Table 17, exam-ples of technical tasks performed by at least 20 percent of the target grouprespondents that had not been referenced to any STS elements are shown.Training personnel and subject-natter experts should review these and othereligible unreferenced tasks to determine if inclusion in the STS Is justified.

Plan of Instruction (POI)

Technical school subject-matter experts, as previously mentioned, alsomatched the inventory tasks to the 3ABR42731 000 course POI, and a computerproduct was generated displaying the results of this match. The informationpresented includes the learning objectives, tasks matched, percent 1-24 and1-48 months TAFMS respondents performing, TE, TD, and Automated Training Index(ATI) values.

Review of tasks matched to the POI reveals that most POI blocks and unitsof instruction are well supported by survey data, based on percentages offirst-enlistment personnel performing tasks or high TE or TD ratings for per-tinent tasks. There are seven units of instruction, however, which containobjectives that apparently are not totally supported by survey data andrequire further evaluation by training personnel and subject-matter experts(see display in Table 18). While the tasks for the first two units shown (13aand 13b) have comparatively high TE ratings, first-enlistment personnel reportonly 7 percent of them perform the tasks and both have a below average TD rat-Ing. Although unit 13e has tasks with above average (5.00 or higher) TD rat-ings, the TE ratings are very low and the percent members performing forfirst-enlistment individuals does not exceed 4 percent. Each of the threeunits of block II have tasks which are performed by less than 13 percent ofthe first-term personnel. While TD ratings for these tasks are above average,the TE ratings are comparatively low. The task for the final objective(IV2h), though having above average TE and TD ratings, reflects that less than20 percent of the criterion groups perform the task and thus does not supportthe objective. These objectives should be reviewed to determine if retentionof these 9 hours in the ABR course is justified.

Additionally, some apparently significant tasks with high TE ratings,sufficiently high TD ratings, and 30 percent or more first-job or first-enlistment personnel performing were not matched to any POI blocks of instruc-tion. This combination of factors indicates formal training may be requiredand resident technical training could be supported. Table 19 lists a samplingof a number of such tasks. Subject-matter experts and training personnelshould perform in-depth review of these and other qualifying tasks containedin the "Tasks Not Referenced" section of the previously mentioned computerprintout to determine the necessity for training and the most effective methodto accomplish it.

JOB SATISFACTION ANALYSIS

Examination of the job satisfaction indicators for various groups givescareer ladder managers a better understanding of some of the factors which mayimpact on Job performance of airmen in the career ladder. Attitude questionscovering job interest, perceived utilization of talents and training, sense ofaccomplishment from work, and reenlistment intentions were included in thesurvey booklet. The information from these questions is provided in Table 20for the specialty jobs discussed in the SPECIALTY JOBS section of this report.An examination of the data may show how overall job satisfaction may be influ-enced by the type of job performed. In Table 21, another view of job satis-faction data is presented, showing data for TAFMS groups matched with similardata for a comparative sample of Mission Equipment Maintenance career ladderssurveyed in 1987. These data can give a relative measure of how job satisfac-tion of AFSC 427XI personnel compares with that of other similar specialties.An indication of how job satisfaction perceptions personnel within the careerladder have changed over time is provided in Table 22, where data for TAFMSgroups from this survey is compared to those of the previous survey conductedin 1979.

With one exception, greater than 50 percent of the members in each spe-cialty job report positively, finding their jobs interesting (See Table 20).The Assistant Corrosion Control Shop Chiefs, with only 46 percent expressingthat their jobs are interesting, represent only 1 percent of the survey sam-ple. Perhaps of more interest is the indication that only 50 percent of thelargest job group, representing 81 percent of the sample, indicate they foundtheir job interesting.

When comparing the data for the respondents of this survey against thoseof the composite 1987 sample (see Table 21), AFSC 427XI respondents are con-sistently lower in all categories, with the exception of intent to reenlist.No explanation was found for what appears to be comparatively lower job satis-faction indicators for Corrosion Control personnel. A possibility may be theuncertainty and concern over potential merger of the career ladder, but nodata is available to support or negate this theory.

When there are serious problems in a career ladder, survey respondentsare usually quite free with write-in comments to complain about perceivedproblems in the field. Thirteen percent of the survey sample used the write-in feature to convey some type of information, yet only 2.8 percent of thecomments (representing only .4 percent of the survey sample) could be charac-terized as complaints. There was no particular trend noted among the few com-ments received.

Further, as reflected in Table 22, the responses of the first-enlistmentpersonnel from this survey show many more individuals were satisfied with allareas than those of the previous survey. Of special note is the positive per-ception of a great number of respondents that their talent and training arebeing used fairly well or better when compared to those first-termers in 1979.Additionally, those individuals who, in 1979, were first-enlistment personnelare now in the 97+ month TAFMS group, and reflect much higher percentage ofpersonnel with favorable indicators than they reflected in 1979 (see Tables 21and 22).

The data in the job satisfaction tables shows the Corrosion Controlcareer ladder to be one where a majority of the personnel indicate they aresatisfied with their jobs, the use of their training and talents, and feel asense of accomplishment in what they do. They also indicate more of a will-ingness to reenlist than others in jobs similar to theirs.

ADDITIONAL ISSUES

Technical Training personnel requested data concerning the performance byCorrosion Control personnel of sealing functions and advanced composite struc-ture and honeycomb core repair functions. Indications at that time were thatthe performance of these functions was widespread, and data was sought to con-firm or refute the indications. Rather than use a background question togather data, tasks were written on each area and placed in the survey instru-ment under two separate duty sections, Duty R (Performing Sealing Functions)and Duty S (Performing Advanced Composite Structure and Honeycomb Repair Func-tions). As shown in Table 6, the survey reveals that performance of theseduties is not widespread. Corrosion Control personnel spend aproximately 1percent of their relative time performing sealing functions (Duty R) and lessthan I percent of their relative time performing advanced composite structureand honeycomb core repair functions (Duty T). Another indication of the lackof performance of these duties is shown in both Tables 23 and 24, which listthe tasks found in Duties R and S with percent members performing each taskfor the total sample and MAJCOM. There are only two tasks in Duty R (R816 andR819) and one task in Duty S (S828) where the percent members performing forthe total sample exceeds 20 percent. Overall, the other tasks in these areasreflect a very low percentage of performance by those surveyed. One MAJCOMhowever, does have a good percentage of its personnel reporting performance inDuty R tasks. Military Airlift Command has more than 20 percent of its per-sonnel performing half of Duty R tasks. There are no real differences for

MAJCOM reflected in Duty S. Although few Corrosion Control personnel, over-all, presently report performing the tasks in Duties R and S, they will berequired to perform these tasks as part of the new 458X2 AFSC.

The Air Force Corrosion Program Manager requested data be gathered onfour areas concerning annual industrial physical examinations and one on car-diopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training. The technical training personnelwere interested in the proliferation of Combat Oriented Maintenance Organiza-tion (COMO) procedures. Table 25 provides the data for the total sample,first-job, first-enlistment, and DAFSC groups. In some cases, the percent ofpersonnel having a part of the industrial physical examination, such as anaudio exam, exceeds the percent members actually reporting having had takenthe physical examination. This can be accounted for by the fact that thosereporting positive on an audio exam, for instance, are indicating they hadthat exam as part of their last physical, no matter when they had taken thephysical, while positive response on the physical examination question indi-cates that the physical itself had been taken within the last year.

IMPLICATIONS

The survey was requested by training personnel to obtain current task andequipment data for their evaluation of the current training programs and toprovide information to be used in the merger of this AFSC and AFSC 427X5 tocreate a new AFSC 458X2. The current STS for AFSC 427X1 generally is wellsupported by survey data, with just a few elements requiring review due tononsupporting survey data. Additionally, some tasks not keyed to any part ofthe STS require review for possible inclusion in the document. The same istrue for the draft STS for AFSC 458X2 as it pertains to the corrosion controlportion of that STS. Comparison of the survey data to the POI for the ABRcourse for the AFSC 427XI career ladder, revealed that seven units of instruc-tion (9 hours of class time) include some objectives which are not supportedby the survey data. There are also a number of tasks performed by sufficientnumbers of first-enlistment airmen and reflecting high TE ratings, that shouldalso be reviewed for possible inclusion In the ABR course. Data from thissurvey, concerning high usage of equipment by first-term personnel, should beconsidered in establishing the equipment requirements of the ABR course forthe new AFSC.
