SUMMARY OF RESULTS

1. SURVEY COVERAGE: Survey results are based on responses from 863 AFSC427X3 respondents. This represents 68 percent of the total assignedpopulation and 85 percent of those eligible.

2. SPECIALTY STRUCTURE: The survey sample consisted primarily of a large jobof general workers involved in a number of different duties. Several smallerjobs specializing primarily in one duty were also identified. As a whole,career ladder members were found doing a variety of functions. While therewere several common core tasks performed by most members of the career ladder,several pockets of variations were found in which individuals performedfunctions specific to a major command.

3. CAREER LADDER PROGRESSION: AFSC 427X3 personnel follow an orderlyskill level progression, moving from the more technically-oriented jobs intosupervisory and administrative functions. Members at every skill levelperform a very large job. Seven-skill level personnel, for example, thoughprimarily performing management duties, also carry out a number of technicaltasks.

4. TRAINING ANALYSIS: The Specialty Training Standard and Plan of Instruc-tion were both very MAJCOM specific. Personnel responsible for career laddertraining need to closely examine possibly taking MAJCOM-unique functions outof the 3-skill level course and having them trained directly by the majorcommands utilizing those functions.

5. JOB SATISFACTION: Job satisfaction indicators were only slightly higherthan a sample of comparative AFSCs. Most respondents, however, felt theirtraining prepared them well for their job and intended to reenlist. Job

-. satisfaction indicators tended to increase with experience.

6. IMPLICATIONS: Career ladder progression was normal. Training documentsare in need of review/revision. Job satisfaction information needs to beexamined.

OCCUPATIONAL SURVEY REPORTFABRICATION AND PARACHUTE CAREER LADDER

(AFSC 427X3)

INTRODUCTION

"= This occupational survey report addresses the Fabrication and Parachutecareer ladder (AFSC 427X3). The Training Development Services Division of theUSAF Occupational Measurement Center (USAFOMC/OMT) requested this study todetermine field training needs and to gather data for validating the SpecialtyTraining Standard (STS). AFSC 427X3 was last surveyed in December 1980.

The present AFSC 427X3 career ladder emerged from the merger of theParachute Rigger career ladder (AFSC 582XI) and Fabric and Rubber Productscareer ladder (AFSC 582XO) in April 1977. The Fabrication and Parachutecareer ladder's present duties include assembling, inspecting, cleaning,repairing, and packing parachute systems and flotation equipment.Additionally, they inspect, repair, and fabricate fabric items and performshop repair of rubberized items.

Initial training for AFSC 427X3 personnel is given in a 12-week, 1-daycourse at Chanute AFB. This course, C3ABR42733, covers the techniques andfunctions of fabrication and parachute specialists. These include repairingflotation equipment and antiexposure suits, servicing parachute systems, andmaintaining and operating sewing machines to fabricate and repair aircrewflight clothing, protective covers, and upholstery and aircraft soundproofing.Other topics taught include using technical orders, maintenance management,Air Force system of supply, shop and flightline safety, career progression,and blueprint interpretation.V., *' T"u .

SURVEY METHODOLGY

Survey Development

Data for this survey were collected using USAF Job Inventory AFPT90-427-769, dated September 1986. After reviewing pertinent career ladder

publications and tasks from previous survey instruments, the inventorydeveloper prepared a preliminary task list. This task list was refined andvalidated through personal interviews with 18 subject-matter experts at 4different bases to ensure a comprehensive sample of the various Parachute andFabrication career ladder functions. The locations selected for visits andthe reasons for their selection are listed below:

APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE; DISTRIBUTION UNLIMITED

Chanute AFB IL--Technical Training Center. Responsible forC3ABR42733 course.

Holloman AFB NM--Representative of Tactical Air Command (TAC)functions.

Altus AFB OK--Representative of both Military Airlift Command (MAC)and Strategic Air Command (SAC) functions.

Dyess AFB TX--Representative of a Mobile Aerial Port Squadron(MAPS).

The final job inventory consisted of 1,250 tasks divided into 26 func-tional areas or duties. The inventory also contains a background sectionwhich includes questions on equipment use, grade, TAFMS, and job title.

Survey Administration

To complete the survey, each incumbent first answered the backgroundquestions, then marked the tasks he or she performed. Finally, the incumbentrated each task performed according to the relative time spent performing thattask. Ratings range from 1 (a very small amount of time spent) to 9 (a verylarge amount of time spent). As part of the computer analysis, all of anincumbent's ratings are combined and the total is assumed to represent 100percent of the individual's time on the job. Each rating is then divided bythis total and multiplied by 100 to give the relative percent time spent foreach task. Using these figures, analysis compares tasks in terms of therelative percent time spent performing them.

Upon receipt of the inventory booklets from USAFOMC, survey controlofficers at Consolidated Base Personnel Offices worldwide distributed theinventory to all eligible AFSC 427X3 personnel. A total of 1,018 incumbentswas selected from a computer-generated list obtained from the Air Force HumanResources Laboratory (AFHRL). Excluded from this list were personnel intraining, hospital, or PCS status. Table 1. reflects the distribution byMAJCOM, as of September 1986, of respondents in the survey sample. The 863respondents in the final sample represent 68 percent of the total assignedAFSC 427X3 personnel and 85 percent of those eligible.

Task Factor Administration

In addition to collecting task performance data, part of the surveyadministration process involves collecting task factor ratings of taskdifficulty (TD) and training emphasis (TE). These ratings are collected onlyfrom senior NCOs randomly selected to represent their career ladder, and areprocessed separately from task performance data.

Task difficulty refers to the length of time required for the average jobincumbent to learn to do a task. To complete the task difficulty booklet,each senior NCO rated inventory tasks with which they were familiar ona 9-point scale, ranging from extremely low relative difficulty (a rating of1) to extremely high relative difficulty (a rating of 9). The interraterreliability of the TD data provided by 27 AFSC 427X3 NCOs was .90. These TDratings were adjusted to give a rating of 5.00 to a task of average diffi-culty, with a standard deviation of 1.00. The TD ratings provide a rank-ordered listing of the tasks in the inventory by degree of difficulty.

Training emphasis refers to the importance of structured training(through resident technical schools, field training detachments, formal OJT,etc.) of particular tasks for first-enlistment personnel. Individualscompleting TE booklets rated tasks on a 10-point scale, ranging from a blank(no training emphasis) to 9 (extremely heavy training required). The TEratings provide a rank-ordered listing of tasks from high to low trainingemphasis. The interrater reliablility for the 34 NCOs who completed TEbooklets was .92. The average TE rating was 2.07, with a standard deviationof 1.57. Tasks rated above 3.64 are considered high in training emphasis forAFSC 427X3 first-enlistment personnel.

When used in conjunction with other information, such as percent membersperforming, TD and TE ratings can provide insight into training requirements.Such insight may help validate lengthening or shortening portions ofinstruction supporting AFSC-needed knowledges or skills.

SPECIALTY JOBS(Career Ladder Structure)

An important function of the USAF Occupational Analysis Program isexamining a career ladder's structure. Based on incumbent responses to thesurvey, analysis identifies groups of incumbents spending similar amounts oftime performing similar tasks. Individuals performing many of the same tasksand spending similar amounts of time on those tasks group together to describea job performed in the career ladder. In this way, analysis identifies thebasic structure of the career ladder, in terms of the jobs performed, andtheir relationship to each other. This analysis provides a foundation forevaluating other aspects of the career ladder, such as personnel classifica-tion, AFR 39-1 Specialty Descriptions, and training considerations.

Specialty Structure Overview

Analysis of the jobs in the AFSC 427X3 career ladder identified mostcareer ladder members performing a wide range of duties primarily dealing withpersonnel parachutes and flotation equipment. Several other groups, however,performed functions which concentrated in one specific duty. The followingoutline, which is illustrated in Figure 1, gives a more specific description

The remaining 12 percent did not perform functions similar enough togroup together or performed so few tasks in the inventory their job could notbe described. An example of a job much different from anyone else in thecareer ladder is that of the Technical Order Distribution Office (TODO)Monitor.

Group Descriptions

The following paragraphs briefly describe the different jobs identifiedin the analysis. Table 2 provides selective background data on these groups.For a more detailed listing of representative tasks and a summary ofbackground data on these groups and the jobs within these groups, see AppendixA.

I. GENERAL PARACHUTE AND FLOTATION PERSONNEL (GRP073). The 467 airmenin this group account for t-e-single largest job in the career ladder. Thisjob, which accounts for 54 percent of the total career ladder structure, isprimarily a generalist job where individuals work in many different areas.While most of their duty time is spent servicing personnel parachute systems

(14 percent), large amounts of time are also spent servicing life rafts andlife preservers (12 percent and 11 percent, respectively). As would beexpected, personnel in this job have a very broad job, averaging 291 tasks.Representative tasks include:

pack life preserversinflate life raftspack personnel parachutesinflate life preserverscut stencilssew items, such as name tags, unit patches, orvelcro tape onto organizational clothing

These personnel average over 6 years TAFMS, with 72 percent 5-skill level* qualified. A number of job variations were found *ithin this job in which

individuals are concentrating on specific aspects of the job. These includeindividuals dealing with personnel parachutes, flotation equipment, first-linesupervision, escape slides, thermal curtains, deceleration parachutes, anddrogue parachutes.

The remaining jobs identified consist of individuals performing morespecific jobs. Unlike the above mentioned job, these jobs are smaller inscope and encompass fewer different functions.

II. PROTECTIVE AND ORGANIZATIONAL CLOTHING PERSONNEL (GRPl67). These 15airmen account for aTim-ost 2 percent of the total sample. Personnel in thisjob primarily perform maintenance on organizational and protective clothing,performing functions such as sewing and inspecting. These individuals alsowork on life preservers, but work little on life rafts. This is in contrastto most other job groups identified, which usually deal equally with bothtypes of flotation equipment. This discrepancy is because these individualsprimarily work at F-Ill bases. These aircraft do not have flotation systemsmaintained by AFSC 427X3 personnel. Servicing protective and organizationalclothing accounts for 20 percent of their time, while servicing life preserv-ers takes up 19 percent of their total job time. An average of 158 tasks areperformed on this job, some of which include:

sew items, such as name tags, unit patches, orvelcro tape onto organizational clothing

pack life preserverssew organizational clothinginspect life preserverssew items, such as name tags, unit patches, or

Personnel in this job average just over 4 years TAFMS. Fifty-threepercent are qualified at the 5-skill level with the remainder qualified at the3-skill level (27 percent) and at the 7-skill level (20 percent).

III. UPHOLSTERY PERSONNEL (GRP176). The five individuals in this job makeup less than I percent of the total sample. They perform a unique job,primarily working on aircraft upholstery. Three of the five are assigned atAndrews AFB and work on aircraft used in carrying dignitaries. As such, thisjob consists of inspecting, manufacturing, and repairing aircraftsoundproofing and upholstery, which accounts for 17 percent of their total job

" time. Personnel in this job are some of the most senior in the sample,averaging 10 years TAFMS. Sixty percent are qualified at the 5-skill level,while the remainder are 7-skill level personnel. These job members areexclusively utilized by the Military Airlift Command (MAC). They perform anaverage of 184 tasks. Representative of these tasks include:

manufacture aircraft covers, such as seat, headrest,or armrest covers

replace aircraft carpetingreplace aircraft covers, such as seat, headrest, or

armrest coverscut fabric for aircraft fabric itemsinspect aircraft fabric itemscut foam rubber for aircraft seat cushions

IV. FLOTATION PERSONNEL (GRP064). This job consists of 84 members andaccounts for l0 percent of the total job sample. As the job title implies,these personnel predominantly work on flotation equipment, such as lifepreservers and life rafts. These two functions account for 30 and 25 percentof their total job time, respectively. Personnel in this job perform anaverage of 96 tasks, some of which include:

pack life preserversinspect iife preserversinflate life preserversperform leakage inspection of life preserversinflate life raftsdetermine corrected pressures for life rafts

This job primarily consists of junior people with an average TAFMS of alittle over 3 years. Seventy-six percent of these airmen are in their firstenlistment. Sixty-two percent are qualified at the 5-skill level, while 32percent are at the 3-skill level and 5 percent at the 7-skill level. MACmakes up the largest utilizing command with 48 percent. This job containsseveral subgroups of individuals who, while still principally dealing withflotation equipment, show an increased emphasis in other functions. Thesesubgroups consist of individuals working with personnel parachutes, decel-eration parachutes, or with life preservers much more than life rafts.

(AFSC 42753)

As would be expected, these are the most senior individuals in thesample, averaging almost 16 years TAFMS. The majority of these individualsare qualified at the 7-skill level (66 percent), with 22 percent beingqualified at the 3-skill level and 12 percent at the 5-skill level. A groupof individuals within this job is associated with cargo parachutes supervisingin Aerial Port (APS) and Mobile Aerial Port (MAPS) squadrons.

VIII. PROTECTIVE COVERS PERSONNEL (GRP144). The five members of this jobaccount for less than-- percent of the total sample. These individuals areinvolved in the repair and maintenance of protective covers and tarps, oftenfor mobility purposes. Servicing protective covers accounts for 19 percent oftheir total job time. This was the only job identified which dealt, to anygreat extent, with maintaining mobile equipment and facilities, accounting for7 percent of their total job time. The majority work at Holloman AFB in a jobdealing with maintaining facilities used during deployments. All members areutilized by Tactical Air Command (TAC). Personnel in this job perform anaverage of 75 tasks, which include:

XI. CARGO PARACHUTE PERSONNEL (GRPII7). This job consists of 32 airmenand accoun-ts-Tor 4 percentf TEFe total sample. These individuals work at APSand MAPS squadrons performing tasks related to servicing cargo type parachutesystems. Servicing these systems accounts for 51 percent of their total jobtime. Ninety-seven percent of these individuals are utilized by MAC. Person-nel perform an average of 69 tasks which include:

inspect cargo type parachutespack cargo parachutesdetermine repairability of damaged cargo

type parachutespatch cargo parachute system canopiesassemble cargo parachute systemsmanufacture cargo parachute system expanded

air drop training bundles

These personnel average just over 4 years TAFMS. Eighty-one percent arequalified at the 5-skill level, while 10 percent are qualified at the 3-skilllevel and 9 percent at the 7-skill level.

Comparison of Specialty Jobs

Most career ladder personnel grouped into a generalist job consisting ofindividuals working in a variety of different duties. Individuals in this jobshare a common core set of tasks dealing primarily with flotation equipment.Beyond these common tasks, job members are likely to be involved in a numberof different job variations. Even with these different variations, all thesejob members perform a very large job requiring knowledge in several differentduties.

The other jobs identified were smaller and more specialized. Individualsin these jobs concentrated primarily in one duty, working in other duties to amuch smaller extent. As such, these jobs were much narrower in scope,averaging over 150 less tasks performed than the general worker group.

Many of the functions performed by career ladder members were specific toa major command. This indicates there may be some differences among the majorcommands in the functions performed. Examples of functions performedprimarily by one major command include cargo parachutes and fabric items(MAC), and thermal curtains (SAC). MAJCOM differences are discussed later inthe report. Most individuals, however, spend most of their total job timeservicing parachute systems and flotation equipment. Out of all the parachutesystems serviced, personnel parachutes were the most common.

Comparison to Previous Survey

The results of this survey were compared to the results of the lastsurvey, AFPT 90-427-403, dated December 1980. Overall, the previous surveyfound a similar breakdown in jobs to the present survey Table 3). As in thepresent survey, a large group of general Parachute and Liferaft Personnel(N=228) was identified. This was, in large part, followed by jobs smaller inscope dealing with more specific aspects of the career ladder.

The 1980 survey found the career ladder highly homogeneous, with themajority of personnel concentrated in three duties: servicing and repairingparachutes; inspecting, maintaining, and repairing liferafts; and inspecting,maintaining, and repairing life preservers. Similar results were found in thecurrent survey. Examples of jobs found in the current survey, but notidentified as separate and distinct jobs in the previous survey, include theUpholstery, Refurbishment, and Protective Covers Personnel jobs. These threefunctions were included in the Fabric Repair Personnel job in the 1980 survey.Another difference involves new parachute systems brought on-line since thelast survey. This primarily involves the ACES II personnel recovery parachutesystem employed on the newer aircraft.

DAFSC ANALYSIS

In addition to analyzing the career ladder structure, examining skilllevels is helpful in understanding a career ladder. The DAFSC analysiscompares skill levels, highlighting differences in the tasks performed at thedifferent levels. This information can be useful in evaluating how wellvarious career ladder documents, such as AFR 39-1 Specialty Descriptions andthe Specialty Training Standards (STS), reflect what career ladder personnelare actually doing in the field.

Three-skill level personnel were combined with 5-skill level personnelfor this analysis. Both skill levels perform the same functions, even thoughthere is some increase in supervisory and administrative duties at the 5-skilllevel. Background information and the tasks performed at the skill levelsshows an overall progression from the more technically-oriented jobs at the 3and 5-skill level to more administrative and supervisory functions at the

skill level. The distribution of skill level groups across each job is,wn in Table 4. To give a sense of the progression through the skill

,evels, relative time spent on each duty by skill level is presented in Table5.

The 663 airmen with a DAFSC of 42733 cr 42753 comprise 77 percent of thetotal AFSC 427X3 sample. Personnel with either skill level designationperform a very technically-oriented job consisting primarily of servicing

* personnel parachute systems, life preservers, and life rafts. The overallservicing of these three functions accounts for 36 percent of their total jobtime. Common tasks performed include packing and inspecting life preserversand personnel parachutes, and inflating and deflating life rafts. This is a

homogeneous group with a very large job. Table 4 shows that most members inthis group were utilized in the General Parachute and Flotation Personnel job.Their job averages 197 tasks, several of which are listed in Table 6.

The DAFSC 42773 group consists of 200 individuals, accounting for 23percent of the total AFSC 427X3 sample. They perform much of the supervisoryand administrative functions of the career ladder. These supervisory andadministrative duties account for 54 percent of their total job time. Eventhough these individuals have their major emphasis in managerial areas,technical tasks still comprise a large part of their total job. Individualsat this skill level have a very broad job averaging 240 tasks. Jobs mostlikely to include these skill level personnel are the General Parachute andFlotation Personnel and Supervisory Personnel jobs (Table 4).. Representativetasks for 7-skill level members are listed in Table 7.

In summary, AFSC 427X3 personnel follow an orderly skill levelprogression, moving from the more technically-oriented jobs into supervisoryand administrative functions. Members at every skill level perform a verylarge job. Seven-skill level personnel, for example, though primarilyperforming management duties, also carry out a number of technical tasks.

AFR 39-1 SPECIALTY DESCRIPTIONS

Occupational survey data are also used to examine classification issues.By comparing those jobs performed in a career ladder to th specialtydescriptions, judgments can be made about the descriptions' completeness andaccuracy.

AFR 39-1 Specialty Descriptions are intended to give a very broaddescription of the responsibilities held by the various skill levels within acareer ladder. When compared with the survey data, the AFR 39-1 Specialty

Description for the Fabrication and Parachute Specialist (DAFSCs 42713, 42733,42753), dated 30 April 1987, accurately reflects the duties and tasks beingaccomplished at these skill levels. In general, these personnel areassembling, inspecting, cleaning, repairing, and packing parachute systems andflotation equipment. They are also servicing fabric and rubberized items. Afew areas need review, however. No mention is made of drogue or personnelrecovery parachutes. Also, mention of aerial delivery parachutes may not benecessary, since that function is covered by mention of cargo parachutes.

The AFR 39-1 Specialty Description for Fabrication and ParachuteSupervisor (DAFSC 42773), dated 30 April 1987, is also generally supported bythe survey data. The duties and tasks performed by 7-skill level personnelare primarily supervisory in nature, with some technical functions performed.The Specialty Summary section, however, needs to include more of the dutiesdiscussed in the Duties and Responsibilities section. These include referringto the technical functions performed by 7-skill level personnel, and alluding

to their role in establishing and conducting on-the-job training for career

MAJCOM ANALYSIS

Occupational survey data can be used in examining differences in duty andtask performance data across major commands. Highlighting these differencesmay identify any specific needs MAJCOMs may have due to distinguishingperformance functions. The six MAJCOMs that most predominantly utilize AFSC427X3 personnel are examined in this analysis: USAFE, ATC, MAC, PACAF, SAC,and TAC. Table 8 shows the relative time spent performing duties across theseMAJCOMs.

The differences identified among AFSC 427X3 MAJCOMs are, for the mostpart, due to the specific missions performed by those major commands and theresulting career ladder duties they require. ATIC personnel, for example,spent the largest portion of job time of any MAJCOM servicing personnelparachute systems (24 percent), and the least on flotation equipment (9percent). This could be due to their work on T-37 and T-38 aircraft. Theyalso spend a large portion of their time on training (8 percent), a differencewhich is common to ATC personnel in many career ladders.

MAC, the largest utilizing command, has their personnel spending moretime on flotation equipment (23 percent) than most other major commands. Theyalso service cargo parachute systems and fabric items to a greater extent thanother major commands. On the other hand, only SAC personnel work with thermalcurtains to any large extent. Personnel in MAJCOMs which employ tacticalaircraft (such as TAC and USAFE) service personnel recovery parachute systemsmore than other major commands. They also service protective and organiza-tional clothing and individual equipment more thanother MAJCOMs.

Overall, the differences among the above-mentioned major commands weredependent upon the specific mission of the MAJCOM. Major commands, such asUSAFE and TAC, which employ much the same type of aircraft have a more similarjob than TAC and MAC. All MAJCOMs performed a large job involving a commonset of general tasks in addition to a set of mission specific tasks.

TRAINING ANALYSIS

Information gathered from occupational survey data is also used to assistin the development or evaluation of formal training programs or training docu-ments, such as the Specialty Training Standard (STS) and Plan of Instruction(POI). A particularly important factor which may be used for this purpose isthe percentage of an appropriate group, such as first-enlistment (1-48 months

TAFMS) personnel, performing tasks. In addition, the secondary task factorsof training emphasis or task difficulty ratings (as explained in the TaskFactor Administration section) provide useful information.

Technical school personnel have matched nonmanagerial inventory tasks toappropriate STS or POI sections to facilitate use of occupational survey datato evaluate the relevance and completeness of these documents. Computerlistings which display the STS or POI with matched tasks and survey data areused in the analysis to show which sections of the STS or POI are most rele-vant to the career ladder. They may also be used to show which tasks notmatched to these documents may need to be included due to the extent to whichthey are performed in the career ladder and their importance to training. Toaid in any further detailed -review of training documents, these computerdisplays have been forwarded to the technical school. In addition to asummary of that information, this section contains an analysis of the first-enlistment personnel. Figure 2 shows the distribution of first-enlistmentpersonnel across the job groups discussed in the SPECIALTY JOBS section ofthis report.

Training Emphasis and Task Difficulty Data

The objective of collecting TE and TD ratings is to develop rank-orderedlistings of tasks in terms of importance for first-term training and in termsof difficulty. These lists of inventory tasks are included in both theAnalysis and Training Extracts, with TE and TD ratings accompanying eachinventory task displayed in the Training Extract. (For a more detailedexplanation of both types of ratings, see Task Factor Administration in theSURVEY METHODOLOGY section.) Tasks performed by moderate to high percentagesof personnel may warrant resident technical training. TE and TD ratings,composed of the opinions of experienced career ladder personnel, are secondaryfactors that may assist training developers in deciding which tasks should beemphasized for entry-level training. Those tasks receiving high task factorratings, but performed by low percentages of first-enlistment personnel, maybe more appropriately planned for OJT programs within the career ladder. Lowtask factor ratings may highlight tasks best left out of training for newpersonnel, but this decision must be weighed against percentages of personnelperforming the tasks and other task considerations. Finally, a new producthas been added to the Training Extract. Automated Training Indicators (ATI)give technical school personnel an objective, categorical training decisionindicator based on Atch 1, ATCR 52-22.

AFSC 427X3 Training issues

A. First-Enlistment Personnel. There are 423 first-enlistment personnelin this sample of the career ladder, accounting for 49 percent of the total.This group of first-termers performs a very varied job dealing primarily withservicing personnel parachute systems and flotation equipment. They are alsoheavily involved in maintaining shop facilities and equipment. Thus, theyperform a very technical job, with little administrative ana supervisoryduties. AFSC 427X3 first-enlistment personnel perform an average of 170tasks, some of which are listed in Table 9.

B. Equipment. Personnel in AFSC 427X3 use many different types ofequipment in performing their jobs. Survey data can point out which equipmentis used most and by what group. This information can then be used by trainingspecialists in determining which types of equipment should be emphasized forfirst-term training. This will suggest which equipment should be specifiedfor training, and also show utilization patterns. One would expect that asexperience increases, duties become more supervisory/administrative and lesshands-on. Thus, the more experienced one becomes, the less he or she willutilize equipment. Table 10 lists examples of equipment utilized by first-term, second-term, and career groups. Many of these examples first show anincrease in utilization of equipment from the first-term to the second-term,and then the expected decrease. Notice, however, that even with an increasein experience, senior personnel still utilize a great deal of equipment.

Table 10 displays those pieces of equipment utilized by 50 percent ormore of first-enlistment personnel. Equipment utilized by 50 percent or moreof first-term airmen should normally receive hands-on training in the basiccourse. A full computer listing of all equipment items and the associatedpercent members utilizing is included in a Training Extract to this report.This Extract is supplied to all training and utilization personnel, as well asother interested users who require this information.

C. Specialty Training Standard (STS). An STS is intended to providecomprehensive coverage of tasks performed by career ladder personnel. Toassess the effectiveness of the AFSC 427X3 STS, dated November 1986, STSsections were compared to .survey data. Sections containing managerial,general information, or knowledge areas were not reviewed. In addition toexamining how well survey data supported STS items, analysis also exploredwhich additional areas might need to be included in the STS, based on surveyfindings.

Fourteen performance items in the STS were not supported by survey data.These STS items were matched to tasks with fewer than 20 percent of anyskill level group performing them. Table 11 lists these performance items. Anumber of these items dealt with functions of the career ladder unique to onemajor command. Items in STS paragraph 20, for example, deal with AircraftThermal Radiation Barrier Curtains. Only SAC personnel perform this functionto any great extent. Most of these items were, therefore, not performed byover 20 percent of any skill level group and, thus, not supported by surveydata. Subject-matter experts should review these areas for functions per-formed uniquely within a single major command. Subject-matter experts needto consider either eliminating all items performed by low percentages ofcareer ladder personnel or having these duties covered in a command JobQualification Standard (JQS).

Three-skill level proficiency ccdes can also be analyzed to determine howwell they correspond to first-termer performance levels. Items matched totasks performed by over 30 percent of first-enlistment personnel normally

should have a task performance or task kncwledge proficiency code at the3-skill level, unless other factors warrant otherwise. This would warrantinclusion in the resident course. By the same token, items matched to tasksperformed by under 30 percent of those personnel should not have a 3-skilllevel proficiency code and, thus, no resident course training.

Table 12 lists those items supported by over 30 percent of first-termers,but with no proficiency code at the 3-skill level so as to allow for inclusionin a training course. Subject-matter experts should examine these items toascertain whether the proficiency codes should be changed to a knowledge orperformance coding. Several other items had 3-skill level proficiency codes,but low percentages of first-enlistment personnel performing them. Table 13gives a listing of these STS items. Subject-matter experts need to reviewthese items to determine if proficiency codes at the 3-skill level should beremoved and, thus, eliminated from inclusion in a training course.

An additional area of analysis involves examining ta-ks not matched toany item in the STS. Unreferenced tasks performed by at least 20 percent of amajor group, such as first-enlistment personnel, are performed to an extentgreat enough to be considered for inclusion in the STS. Additionally, taskswith high TE or TD ratings should be examined for possible STS inclusion. Anumber of the top unreferenced tasks centered around life raft cylinders.Examples of these and other unreferenced tasks are listed in Table 14, alongwith the percentage of first-enlistment and 5- and 7-skill level personnel

performing them and task factor ratings.

D. Plan of Instruction (POI). This analysis examines the POI for CourseC3ABR42733. This course deals with the techniques and functions of fabrica-tion and parachute specialists. These include repairing flotation and anti-exposure suits, servicing parachute systems, and maintaining and operatingsewing machines to fabricate and repair aircrew flight clothing, protectivecovers, and upholstery and aircraft soundproofing. Other topics taughtinclude using technical orders, maintenance management, Air Force supplysystem, shop and flightline safety, career progression, and blueprint inter-pretation. Based on assistance from training specialists at Chanute AFB, thePOI was matched with survey task statements. Computer printouts were thengenerated to display the results of the matching for use in this analysis andfor a detailed review of training. A Plan of Instruction generally containstwo types of objectives: knowledge objectives and performance objectives.Since task statements are relevant to performance objectives, rather thanknowledge objectives, only performance objectives are reviewed in thisanalysis.

Guidelines outlined in ATCR 52-22 state a POI objective is supported bysurvey data if performed by 30 percent or more of all first-job (1-24 monthsTAFMS) or first-enlistment personnel. Following these guidelines, the datarevealed 20 performance objectives, covering over 104 hours, performed byunder 30 percent of all AFSC 427X3 first-job/first-enlistment personnel.These objectives were thus not supported by survey aata. The majority ofthese objectives involve Recovery Parachute Systems (Block V) and Fabricateditems and Medium Weight Sewing Machines (Block VI). These and other unsup-ported objectives are listed in Table 15.

Further analysis of these unsupported items, however, uncoered atileastone MAJCOM supporting POI inclusion of all but two objectives (I-I and kft inTable 15). In other words, broken down by major command, the POI is wellsupported by survey data. At least one MAJCOM utilizes 30 percent or more oftheir first-termers in most POI objectives.

for example, have over 30 percent of TAC and USAFE first-termers working onthese systems. Other commands, such as SAC and MAC, work on them to such alimited extent that they lower the overall first-enlistment percent performingto under 30 percent. This area is, thus, not supported by survey data,according to regulation. Subject-matter experts need to examine those areasof the P01 supported only by specific MAJCOMs. They need to consider havingthese MAJCOM-unique functions trained in the field directly by those majorcommands utilizing those particular functions.

As with the STS, another part of the POI analysis involves examiningtasks not matched to any P01 objectives. Based on percentages of first-termers performing them and high TE ratings, several tasks should be consid-ered for inclusion in the P01. These tasks are performed by very highpercentages of first-enlistment personnel, and also have high TE ratings.Table 16 lists examples of these tasks. Training specialists should review

unreferenced tasks with more than 30 percent of AFSC 427X3 personnel perform-ing them to determine if they should be included in common resident coursetraining. A complete listing is contained in the Training Extract, which hasbeen forwarded to the technical training school.

JOB SATISFACTION ANALYSIS

An examination of the job satisfaction indicators of each experiencegroup provides some understanding of factors which may affect the jobperformance of AFSC 427X3 personnel, Job satisfaction indicators for TAFMSgroups are shown in Table 17, along with those of a comparative sample ofsimilar career ladders surveyed in 1986. This gives a relative measure of howthe job satisfaction of personnel in AFSC 427X3 compares with other similarcareer ladders in the Air Force. Job satisfaction indicators from theprevious survey were analyzed to examine any changes in job satisfaction overtime. Finally, job satisfaction across specialty jobs was examined todetermine hcw overall job satisfaction may be influenced by the specific jobperformed.

Five attitude questions covering job interest, perceived utilization oftalents, perceived utilization of training, sense of accomplishment from thejob, and reenlistment intentions provide indicaticns of job satisfaction. Byand large, AFSC 427X3 first-enlistment personnel had lower positive responsesthan first-termers in the comparative sample. Forty-eight percent of AFSC427X3 first-enlistment personnel, for example, found their job interesting,compared to 64 percent of comparative sample first-termers (see Table 17).Only in their perceived use of training and reenlistment intentions were AFSC

427X3 first-termers higher. They felt their training prepared them well fortheir job, and most intended to reenlist. As experience increased, so did thepositive responses. Second-enlistment (49-96 months) ana career personnel(97+ months) had job satisfaction indicators closer to the comparativesample's indicators (see Table 17). While all AFSC 427X3 experience groupsfound their job less interesting than the comparative sample, as a whole,

their overall job satisfaction indicators were slightly higher than the

comparative sample. Only in the areas of perceived use of training andreenlistment intentions were the indicators consistently higher than thecomparative sample's across experience groups.

Comparing indicators in the present survey to the previous one shows howresponses to these job satisfaction questions have changed over time. Table18 confirms that, since the last survey, the percentage of positive responseshas increased for every experience group in every area. Areas showing majorimprovements include sense of accomplishment and reenlistment intentions forfirst-termers, job interest, and reenlistment intentions for second-enlistmentpersonnel, and perceived use of talents and sense of accomplishment for careerpersonnel (see Table 18).

Table 19 presents data from the job satisfaction indicators by specialtyjob. Most jobs had fairly low percentages of positive responses. Jobsconsisting of senior personnel usually had the highest positive responses.These included Upholstery Personnel, Supervisory Personnel, and Instructors.This is consistent with the fact that job satisfaction indicators increasedalong with experience. Several jobs had very low positive responses. Theyincluded Deceleration and Drogue Parachute Personnel, Protective CoversPersonnel, and Cargo Parachute Personnel. Protective Covers and Cargo Para-chute Personnel are jobs different from typical career ladder duties. Thismay explain why they responded so negatively, especially in feeling theirtraining was not being utilized properly. As a whole, most jobs had onlymoderately positive responses. The majority, however, were satisfied withtheir training and intended to reenlist.

WRITE-IN COMMENTS

In addition to answering background questions and rating tasks performed,survey respondents may also write in comments or add information at.the end ofeither the inventory or one of the task factor booklets. These write-in

comments often address several different issues, such as additional equipmentor tasks or personal opinions about a subject. It is helpful to considermultiple comments on an issue to identify those of possible importance.

Several write-in comments dealt with the diversity of areas in which AFSC427X3 personnel work. Many stated they were involved in several career ladderfunctions. This was especially true of personnel working in the smallershops. This is consistent with the finding that most career ladder memberswork in the General Parachute and Fabrication Personnel job (see SPECIALTYJOBS section).

Another common write-in comment dealt with AFSC 427X3 personnel workingin aerial delivery or cargo load augmentee duties. Much of this involvesworking with AFSC 605X Air Cargo Specialists. Many of these individualsworked in the APS/MAPS squadron. Another common augmentee duty was mobility.

IMPLICATIONS

As explained in the INTRODUCTION to this report, this survey wasrequested by USAFOMC/OMT to validate the STS and supporting training programs.Most AFSC 427X3 personnel perform a varied job encompassing most of the majorduties in the career ladder. These primary duties include servicing flotationequipment, personnel parachute systems, and sewing. There were, however,several pockets of jobs where individuals were performing unique career ladderfunctions. These duties were often specific to a major command.

Job satisfaction is an area that should be looked at by functionalmanagers to determine if there is a problem. While the indicators increasedsince the 1980 survey, they were still only slightly higher than the compara-tive sample's. Most career ladder members, however, were fairly satisfiedwith their training and intended to reenlist. Senior personnel tended to givethe highest positive responses. The career ladder displayed normal careerladder progression, even though 7-skill level personnel still perform manytechnical functions. AFR 39-1 Specialty Job Descriptions appear to bedescriptive of the career ladder as a whole. There may need to be moremention of other parachute systems and a more detailed description of 7-skilllevel technical functions in the Specialty Summary section.

A career ladder area needing close examination and review was the trainingdocuments. The Specialty Training Standard and Plan of Instruction wereanalyzed through a task matching provided by subject-matter experts at ChanuteAFB Technical Training Center. Based on the results of the analysis, bothdocuments were found to be very MAJCOM specific. While most career laddermembers perform common basic tasks, such as working on flotation equipment, anumber of other functions are primarily performed by only a few majorcommands. This has resulted in training documents tailored, not to the careerladder as a whole, but to the needs of the specific major commands performingthose specific duties. Strictly following regulation, many items do not meetpercent performing criteria (especially in the POI). When broken out byMAJCOM, however, most objectives meet the percent performing criteria in atleast one major command. Subject-matter experts, thus; need to closelyexamine where their training emphasis lies. Should training be given only forgeneral career ladder duties, or should duties be taught based on functionsperformed by specific major commands? Subject-matter experts should find thissurvey data useful in determining which direction needs to be taken intraining personnel in the areas most needed to meet Air Force needs.
