SUMMARY OF RESULTS

1. Survey Coverage: The survey sample includes 39 percent of all membersassigned to the AFSC 631X0 career ladder. The sample was representativeacross MAJCOMs and paygrade groups and included 3-, 5-, 7-, 9-, and CEM code63100 personnel.

2. Career Ladder Structure: Eleven job clusters and six independent jobtypes were identified. Mobile Distribution Operators comprise the core job,but the career ladder includes various and diverse jobs, such as FuelAccounting Personnel, Fuel Controllers, and Cryogenic and Storage Personnel.

3. Career Ladder Progression: Progression through the skill levels isnormal; AFSC 63130/50 specialists distribute and store fuel, while 7-skilllevel technicians plan, schedule, and inspect fuel distribution and storageactivities. DAFSC 63190/00 members organize, direct, and evaluate the activ-ities of the fuel career ladder.

4. Career Ladder Documents: The AFR 39-1 Specialty Descriptions wereaccurate for all skill levels. Sections of the current Specialty TrainingStandard (STS), new tentative STS, and Plan of Instruction (POI) need to bereviewed because low percentages of members are performing matched tasks.Some areas of both the tentative and the current STS's not supported by tradi-tional methods were supported by job-specific data; adequate percentages ofindividuals in a job were performing tasks matched to a specific area of theSTS.

5. Job Satisfaction: Two of the major issues in job satisfaction for FuelSpecialists were job interest and use of talents. First- and second-enlistment members did not rate their jobs as being as interesting as acomparative sample of direct support personnel did. Use of talents was alsocomparatively lower, but use of training was perceived to be better. First-termers indicate they find their jobs more interesting, feel their talents andtraining are used better, and are more satisfied with their sense of accom-plishment than the 1981 survey sample. Job satisfaction levels are highestamong senior members of the career ladder.

6. Implications: This is a diverse career ladder. This heterogeneitycreated some problems in reviewing the current and tentative STS's, but ajob-specific match showed support for most areas in both documents. Cautionshould be observed, however, when using this method to justify inclusion of aparagraph in an STS; for example, if a paragraph is supported by 25 percent ofa job that consists of 12 members, such as Mobility Support Personnel(ST0230), this means that only 3 members are actually performing the matchedtasks. The POI should also be reviewed for accuracy, as several paragraphswere not supported by survey data.

OCCUPATIONAL SURVEY REPORTFUEL SPECIALIST CAREER LADDER

(AFSC 631X0)

INTRODUCTION

This is a report of an occupational survey of the Fuel Specialist careerladder completed by the USAF Occupational Measurement Center in May 1989. Theprevious OSR for this career ladder was published in October 1981. HQ ATC/TTOrequested the survey to update the entry-level course, C3ABR63130 000, Appren-tice Fuel Specialist, and the STS. Career ladder managers produced a tenta-tive STS in February 1989, before data from the current survey were available.Therefore, results of the review of both the current and tentative STS areincluded in this OSR. . , ,

Background -

According to AFR 39-1, the Fuel Specialist career ladder encompassesoperating and managing petroleum fuel systems and activities including theentire spectrum of requisitioning, receiving, storing, dispensing, and testingpetroleum fuel, liquid cryogenics, and demineralized water. Refuelingvehicles and installed mechanical fuel systems are used to distribute aviationand ground fuel. All operations include environmental protection and energyconservation practices. Computer systems are used in fuel accounting andadministration.

The mandatory entry-level course, C3ABR63130 000, Apprentice Fuel Spe-cialist, is taught at Chanute AFB IL and lasts for 6 weeks and 3 days.Students are taught how to receive, issue, store, and quality control petro-leum and cryogenic products and to mai.ntain related equipment, particularlyspecialized vehicles. Other courses provide graduates with a special experi-ence identifier (SEI) to qualify for more specialized jobs within the careerladder. These include the following courses at Chanute: Fuel QualityControl Specialist, Fuel Accounting, Cryogenic Operations, and PetroleumLogistics Management. USAFE also has two courses: Fuel Accounting, atEinsiedlerhof AB Germany; and Fuel Quality Control Specialist, atZweibruecken, Germany, which are strictly for USAFE personnel.

SURVEY METHODOLOGY

Inventory Development

Data for this survey were collected using USAF Job Inventory AFPT90-631-430 (July 1988). The inventory developer reviewed pertinent careerladder documents, the previous OSR, and the previous job inventory, andprepared a tentative task list. The task list was then validated throughpersonal interviews with 69 subject-matter experts in operational units at thefollowing 7 bases:

LOCATION MAJCOM

Chanute AFB IL ATCRandolph AFB TX ATCMacDill AFB FL TACCharleston AFB SC MACTravis AFB CA MACMather AFB CA ATCLoring AFB ME SAC

The final job inventory listed 422 tasks grouped into 13 duty headingsand a number of background questions asking for such information as dutytitle, duty AFSC, time in service, time in the career ladder, equipment used,and courses completed.

Survey Administration

Consolidated Base Personnel Offices at operational bases worldwideadministered the surveys to all eligible DAFSC 631X0 personnel at the 3-, 5-,7-, 9-skill, and CEM levels. Participants were selected from a computer-generated mailing list provided by the Human Resources Laboratory (HRL).Personnel not considered eligible to fill out the inventory booklets werethose in hospital status, those in PCS status, and those who had not been intheir present job for at least 6 weeks.

All individuals who filled out a survey completed an identification andbiographical information section first. Next, they went through the bookletand checked each task performed in their current job. Finally, they went backand rated each task they had checked on a 9-point scale reflecting relativetime spent on each task compared to all other tasks. Ratings ranged from 1(indicating a very small amount of time spent) to 9 (indicating a very largeamount of time spent). The relative percent time spent on tasks for eachinventory was computed by first totaling all rating values on the inventory,and then dividing each task's rating by this total and multiplying the resultby 100. The percent time spent ratings from all inventories were combined andused with percent member performing values to describe the various groups inthe career ladder.

Sami)lIe

Participants in the survey were carefully selected via a stratifiedrandom sample to ensure proportional representation across major commands(MAJCOM) and military paygrade groups. Tables I and 2 show how the finalsurvey sample compared to the actual population of the career ladder in termsof the distribution across MAJCOMs and paygrades. As illustrated, the surveysample is representative of the overall AFSC 631X0 population. A total of3,268 inventories were mailed to members of the career ladder. The finalsample contained 2,742 members, which was 39 percent of those assigned(7,097), 46 percent of those eligible to be surveyed (5,940), and 84 percentof those actually surveyed.

Data Processing and Analysis

Once the job inventories are received from the field, task responses andbackground information are optically scanned and become one computer file.Biographical data, such as name, duty AFSC, and time in career ladder, aremanually entered to form another file. The two files are then merged to formone complete case record for each respondent. Comprehensive Occupational DataAnalysis Programs (CODAP) are used to analyze the records and create a jobdescription for each respondent, as well as composite job descriptions forparticular groups of respondents.

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.

Task Difficulty (TD). Task difficulty is defined as the length of timethe average airman needs to learn how to perform a given task. Seventy-oneexperienced supervisors rated the difficulty of the tasks in the inventory ona 9-point scale ranging from 1 (easy to learn) to 9 (very difficult to learn).Ratings were standardized so tasks of average difficulty would have a value of5.0. The interrater reliability for task difficulty was acceptable.

Training Emphasis (TE). Training emphasis is a rating of which tasksrequire structured training for first-term 631X0 personnel. Structuredtraining is defined as training provided by resident technical schools, fieldtraining detachments (FTD), mobile training teams (MTT), formal OJT, or anyother organized training method. Sixty-seven experienced supervisors com-pleted TE booklets. They rated the tasks in the inventory on a 10-point scaleranging from no training required (0) to much structured training required(9). The interrater reliability for training emphasis was also acceptable.

When TE ratings are used with other information, such as percent membersperforming and task difficulty, they can provide valuable insight into thetraining requirements for first-term 631X0 personnel and can help validate theneed for organized training within the career ladder.

SPECIALTY JOBS(Career Ladder Structure)

A vital part of the USAF occupational analysis program is the examinationof the career ladder job structure. Based on member responses to surveyquestions, the tasks performed by career ladder personnel are examined andjobs identified according to the similarity of tasks and the relative timethey spent performing the task,. The resulting job structure is then comparedto official career ladder documents, such as the AFR 39-1 Specialty Descrip-tions and the Specialty Training Standard, to review for accuracy and com-pleteness of those documents. This helps career ladder managers gain anunderstanding of current utilization patterns.

For this report, the career ladder structure is described in terms of jobclusters and independent job types. The job is the basic unit of job anal-ysis, and represents a specific group of individuals performing basically thesame tasks and spending similar amounts of time on those tasks. When jobmembers perform tasks in common with other groups, they merge to form a largerunit of related jobs called a job cluster. Specialized jobs too unique to fitwithin a job cluster are called independent job types.

Overview

The mission of the Fuel career ladder is distributing, storing, testing,and accounting for aviation, ground, cryogenic, and missile propellant prod-ucts.

The 11 job clusters and 6 independent job types that were identifiedwithin the AFSC 631X0 career ladder are illustrated in Figure 1. Within manyof the job clusters, job variations are noted in which people are doing uniquetasks, or are spending a large amount of time on a particular duty. Thefollowing list identifies the major job clusters and the specific jobs thatfall under those clusters, the computer product number (ST), and the number ofpeople (N=).

The remaining 4 percent did not groupwith any of the job groups because of the uniqueness of their jobs. The jobtitles of those not grouped include Petroleum Logistics Management Instructor,Special Projects NCO, and IG Fuel Inspector.

Job Descriptions

The following paragraphs discuss the background and duties performed bymembers of the job clusters, jobs, and independent job types. See Tables 3,4, and 5 for a contrast of background information, duties performed, andequipmer, ,sed. Appendix A provides a list of tasks commonly performed byeach j . luster.

I. o. FUEL PERSONNEL (ST0169, N-14). The 14 members in thisindeptnen; job type represent approximately 1 percent of the sample and halfdre assigned to ATC. Seventy-nine percent are first-enlistment personnel withan average of 3 years in the service. Most are E-4s and possess a 5-skilllevel. They are performing very few tasks, and the majority of their time (83percent) is spent performing cold refueling and defueling servicing operationsthat integrate the following tasks:

Most use refueling equipment, such as the C-300, R-9 Kovatch, and R-9 Condectank trucks.

II. MOBILE DISTRIBUTION OPERATORS (ST0057, N=771) operate refueling anddefueling equipment to support mobile distribution of fuel to aircraft. Jobsvary within this cluster according to the amount of supervisory duties per-formed, what section members are assigned to (two small groups are assigned toservice station and bulk storage sections), and the amount of time spentperforming bulk storage, fuel distribution, fuel accounting, and fuelcontrol center tasks. The members in this job cluster represent 28 percent ofthe total sample, and approximately half of them are assigned to either SAC orTAC, with the remainder spread among seven other MAJCOMs. Seventy-eightpercent are first-enlistment personnel with an average of 33 months in theservice. Most are E-3s and possess a 5-skill level. On the average, theyperform a moderate number of tasks (26) in their job, and the majority oftheir time (71 percent) is spent performing fuel distribution activities suchas the following:

In addition to the refueling equipment used by ATC Fuel Personnel, mostMobile Distribution Operators operate hose carts and intrabase radios.

III. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL (ST0066, N=89 maintain mobilefuel distribution equipment, such as tank trucks and hose carts. Techniciansand supervisors comprise the job variations. The members in this job clusterrepresent 3 percent of the sample, and more than half of them are assigned toeither SAC or TAC. This is a more senior group of individuals than theprevious two, with an average of 82 months in the service, a predominant gradeof E-5 and a majority possessing a 5-skill level. Almost half (47 percent)reported they supervise between one and five other personnel, with an averageof 22 percent of their time spent on duties of a supervisory nature. On theaverage, they perform a moderate amount of tasks (30) in their job, and 65percent of their time is taken up performing fuel distribution tasks such asthe following:

G227 Perform vehicle checkpoint proceduresG194 Inspect mobile fuel distribution vehiclesG179 Annotate AFTO Forms 371 (Operator's Inspection Guide and

Comparison To Previous Survey

Table 6 compares the distribution of career ladder members in both the1981 AFSC 631X0 survey sample and the present AFSC 631X0 sample. Eighty-eightpercent of the 1981 survey respondents grouped into jobs, while about 96percent of the members in the 1989 survey were grouped. Several changes haveoccurred in the career ladder since the last report; the Liquid Fuel SystemMdintenance career ladder (AFSC 545X0) was merged in 1980 with the Fuelcareer ladder to handle cryogenic products (liquid oxygen and nitrogen).Therefore, the cluster of Cryogenic Personnel includes former AFSC 545X0personnel as well as unconverted Fuel Specialists who had been working withsome cryogenic materials (mostly liquid oxygen) before the merger. There wereseveral more clusters and independent job types in the present survey than

were represented in the 1981 survey. Some of these jobs, including ATC FuelPersonnel, Fuel Distribution Hydrant Operators, and Bulk Storage HydrantOperators, were included with Mobile Distribution Operators in the 1981 study.Separate groups of supervisors in the 1981 survey combined into one group forthis survey, including Fuel Storage, Distribution, and Control Center Super-visors. The present survey also combined Bulk Storage and Service StationPersonnel into one cluster; these had previously been separated in 1981. Onegroup, Mobility Support Personnel, was not represented in the old survey, butformed a sm-'l independent job type in this study.

ANALYSIS OF DAFSC GROUPS

An analysis of duty AFSC groups is useful in identifying the tasksperformed by the different skill levels. The distinctions made between DAFSCsare helpful for reviewing and assessing the completeness and accuracy of theAFR 39-1 Specialty Descriptions, the Specialty Training Standard (STS), andthe Plan of Instruction (POI), as well as identifying training needs.

The average percent of time spent performing duties by each skill levelappears in Table 7. Table 8 shows the distribution of skill level personnelacross the specialty jobs. Since there are very few differences between tasksperformed by the 3- and 5- skill levels, these groups were combined. As canbe seen by Table 7, there is a clear career ladder progression from the 3- and5-skill level personnel, who are performing technical tasks such as fueldistribution tasks and bulk storage or service station tasks, to-the 9-skilllevel and CEM personnel, who spend the majority of their time in supervisoryand managerial tasks, such as organizing, planning, inspecting, evaluating,directing, and implementing fuel procedures and policies. This is alsoreflected in job progression, as personnel move from the 3- and 5-skill leveljobs of Mobile Distribution Operators or Bulk Storage and Service StationPersonnel to the jobs of Mobile Distribution Supervisors and AdministrativeAdvisors at the 9-skill and CEM levels. Approximately one-third of all theskill levels are stationed overseas.

Skill-Level Descriptions

DAFSC 63130/63150. Fifty-six percent of these skill levels are Mobile Dis-tribution Operators or Bulk Storage and Service Station Personnel, and thetasks performed are reflective of these jobs: 63 percent of their time isspent performing bulk storage, service station, or fuel distribution tasks.A list of representative tasks is shown in Table 9. Almost 50 percent areassigned to a Mobile Distribution Section, and 63 percent are in a squadronlevel job. TAC and SAC utilize 45 percent of these skill levels, and approxi-mately one-third (36 percent) are stationed overseas. Almost all (94 percent)have completed the basic 3-skill level resident course, and 81 percent havefinished the 5-skill level Career Development Course (CDC). Very few are

The equipment these members use isthe same as the DAFSC 63130/63150 group.

DAFSC 63190. This skill level has progressed to spending more time (64percent) in managerial and supervisory tasks than 7-skill level personnel.Table 14 shows which tasks best differentiate between 7- and 9-skill levelpersonnel. Members have the highest percent time spent performing qualitycontrol and inspection evaluator tasks (7 percent). Table 11 lists repre-sentative tasks performed by DAFSC 63190 personnel. Sixty-one percent areMobility Distribution Supervisors, and one-tenth are Mobility Support Person-nel. Eleven percent are Quality Assurance and Inspection Evaluators. Approx-imately three-fourths (77 percent) are supervising, and they have an averagetime in the career ladder of 214 months. Half work at the squadron level,while 34 percent are in wing or MAJCOM level jobs. While only 77 percent haveattended the basic resident course, 71 percent have either completed the5-skill level Fuel Quality Control Specialist or the 9-skill level PetroleumLogistics Management course. Half have accomplished the ATHRS course.Members in this group use the PMU-27M trailer, the C-300, R-9 Condec, and R-9Kovatch tank trucks, hose cart, and intrabase radio. Although 71 percent ofCryogenic and Storage Personnel are 3-/5-skill level members, approximately 31percent of DAFSC 63190 individuals also use cryogenic equipment; namely, thecryogenic sampler, vacuum pump, and vacuum gauge.

DAFSC 63100. This group is the smallest and comprises 21 members. They arewidespread and are primarily in superintendent positions, establishing policyand developing fuel, fuel support, and mobility plans. Tasks commonly per-formed by members are listed in Table 12 and those differentiating 9-skill andCEM level personnel are shown in Table 15. CEM members are Mobile Distri-bution Supervisors, Administrative Advisors, and Fuel Storage, Distribution,and Control Center Supervisors. Seventeen of the members are supervising.

Only 10 members have completed the 3-skill level resident course, and 13 havecompleted the 5-skill level CDC. In addition, 13 completed the ATHRS course.This group averages 257 months in the career ladder. The equipment used by atleast 30 percent (six) of the members include the PMU-27M trailer, the C-300and R-9 Kovatch tank trucks, hosecart, intrabase radio, air transportablecryogenic storage tank, cryogenic sampler, cryotainer, purge unit, vacuumgauge, and vacuum pump.

AFR 39-1 SPECIALTY DESCRIPTION ANALYSIS

Specialty Descriptions are used to give a broad overview of the duties ofa career ladder at the different skill levels. AFR 39-1 documents werereviewed for DAFSC 63110/30/50, DAFSC 63170, and DAFSC 63190/00 (all dated1 February 88). All accurately reflect the jobs at each skill level; AFSC63110/30/50 specialists distribute and store fuel, while 7-skill leveltechnicians plan, schedule, and inspect fuel distribution and storage activ-ities. DAFSC 63190/00 members organize, direct, and evaluate the activitiesof the fuel career ladder.

TRAINING ANALYSIS

Occupational survey data provide one of several sources of informationwhich can be used to make training programs more relevant and meaningful tostudents. The four most commonly used types of occupational survey informa-tion are: (1) the percent of first-enlistment personnel performing taskscovered in the job inventory, (2) ratings of relative difficulty of tasks(TD), (3) the ratings of relative training emphasis (TE) placed on tasks forfirst-enlistment training, and (4) Automated Training Indicators (ATIs).

These data can be used to examine training documents such as the Spe-cialty Training Standard (STS) and the Plan of Instruction (POI). To aid inthe review of the 631X0 STS and POI, technical school personnel at ChanuteTechnical Training Center matched job inventory tasks to appropriate sectionsof the STS and POI. Comparisons to the training documents were made usingthese matches with a complete computer listing displaying percent membersperforming tasks, TE ratings, and TD ratings for each task. The STS and POImatches, along with other detailed computer products, are forwarded to thetechnical school for further evaluation of the training documents.

Training Emphasis, Task Difficulty.and Automated Training Indicators

Training Emphasis and Task Difficulty ratings are factors that can assisttechnical school personnel in deciding what tasks should be emphasized inentry-level training. TE ratings provided by career ladder subject-matter

37

experts yielded an average rating of 3.44, with a standard deviation of 2.05.Therefore, tasks having a rating of 5.49 (average TE + 1 standard deviation)or higher should be strongly considered for structured training. TD ratingswere adjusted so that the average difficulty rating was 5.00, with a standarddeviation of 1.00. Tasks with ratings of 3.00 or better are perceived asdifficult enough to warrant consideration for centralized training. Table 16lists those tasks rated highest in task difficulty, and Table 17 indicatestasks performed by first-termers that have a high training emphasis. For acomplete discussion of TE and TD, please refer back to the Task Factor Admin-istration section of this report.

Automatic Training Indicators (ATIs) provide a guideline for trainingdecisions with an objective, categorical training decision indicator value fora task derived from considerations of percent of members performing, TE and TDratings, and existing constraints such as criticality and safety. Atch 1,ATCR 52-22, has the guidelines for developing the ATI values as well as thetraining decision connected to those values.

Note that tasks receiving high ratings in both TE and TD, accompanied bymoderate to high percentages of members performing (30 percent or better) inthe first-enlistment group, may justify resident training. ATIs help identifythese tasks. While reviewing this section of the report, note that trainingdecisions are not only weighed against these four factors, but also take intoaccount command concerns, safety standards, and the importance of the task.

First-Enlistment Personnel

Since first-enlistment personnel are the target group for basic residenttraining programs (i.e., the 63130 course at Chanute), an analysis of thetasks this group performs can help training personnel develop or reviewtraining programs. Other data that can be used are the equipment lists andfunctional work areas. Task difficulty ratings and training emphasis ratingsshow what experienced NCOs consider to be difficult tasks to learn and tasksimportant to train.

One thousand and fifty-nine individuals (39 percent of the sample) are intheir first enlistment. Almost all (95 percent) have completed the 3ABR 63130000 Fuel Specialist course in residence, and 76 percent the 5-level CDC.Sixty-one percent are stationed in the CONUS and the same percentage work atthe squadron level. First-termers spend an average of 52 percent of theirtime performing fuel distribution duties and 25 percent of their time on bulkstorage or service station tasks. Figure 2 shows the distribution of first-termers across career ladder jobs. Fifty-seven percent are Mobile Dis-tribution Operators, while 15 percent are Bulk Storage and Service Stationpersonnel. Table 19 shows tasks which are representative of those performedby first-enlistment personnel. Significant percentages of first-termers areusing the C-300 and R-9 tank trucks, hose carts, and intrabase radios. Table18 shows the percent of time spent in duties by first-termers and other TAFMSgroups, and Table 20 gives more details of the equipment used byfirst-termers.

Specialtv Training Standard

A comprehensive review of the STS was conducted by comparing task data tothe STS. Subject-matter experts at the technical training school matchedtasks to applicable STS areas, then computer products were run on this match.Usually, the percent of members performing these tasks at the first-job,first-enlistment, 5-skill level and 7-skill level are used to analyze the STS.A paragraph or subparagraph is supported if at least 20 percent of the membersat one of these levels are performing at least one of the tasks matched tothat STS area.

Analysis of the STS 631X0 (Jan 87, Change 1, Apr 1988) revealed that 59of the 200 paragraphs or subparagraphs were unsupported by the data. Most ofthese unsupported areas were under FP Accounting (paragraph 12) or QualityAssurance (paragraph 13). There were some areas unsupported under paragraph8e, Operating permanently installed storage and dispensing systems; paragraph9, Air Transportable Systems; paragraph log, Performing servicing operationsfor mobile refueling units; paragraph 11, Cryogenic products; and paragraph14, Fuel Control Center/Expediter.

Since this is such a diverse career ladder, a product comparing thepercent of members by jobs for tasks matched to each paragraph or sub-paragraph was created to determine if the STS was supported by a large numberof incumbents in a specific job. This method showed support for all but fourof the subparagraphs: 10g(6), Performing servicing operations for hot inte-grated combat turnaround; 10g(7), Performing servicing operations for TAB VEEservicing/sheltered refueling; 10g(10), Performing servicing operations formulti-aircraft refueling; and 13n(9), Perform test to determine heavy hydro-carbon by chromatography. Caution should be observed, however, when usingthis method to justify inclusion of an item in this STS; for example, if aparagraph is supported by 25 percent of a job that consists of 12 members,such as Mobility Support Personnel (ST0230), this means that only threemembers are actually performing the matched tasks.

Table 21 shows the jobs that support the paragraphs. In general, areasof paragraph 9 (Air transportable systems) are supported by Mobility SupportPersonnel, who are operating air transportable systems to receive, issue,defuel, store, and operate ATHRS and ABFDS equipment. Portions of paragraph11, Cryogenic products, are supported by Fuel Storage, Distribution, andControl Center Supervisors, who perform operator maintenance on cryotainers,perform purging operations, and operate the vacuum gauge to obtain readings.Other areas of this paragraph are supported by Cryogenic and Storage Personnel(ST0134, N=87), as well as Laboratory Personnel (ST0077, N=147). Fuel Account-ing Personnel (ST0055, N=161) are performing tasks matched to areas of para-graph 12, FP Accounting, and are completing forms to dispense, inventory, andrequisition various aviation products, ground or heatinS fuel, cryogenic pro-ducts, demineralized water, and missile propellants, as well as processingaccounting files for daily or monthly listings. Parts of paragraph 13, Quality Assurance, are supported by Quality Assurance and Inspection Evaluators(ST0186, N=54) and Laboratory Personnel (ST0077, N=147). They are both

sampling petroleum and cryogenic products, recording the results, reportingthe findings, maintaining sampling and lab equipment, and performing qualitycontrol inspections of fuel sections. Fuel Controllers (ST0032, N=300) sup-port two sections of paragraph 14, Fuel Control Center/Expediter, by embossingidentaplates and ground fuel servoplates.

Twelve tasks with sufficiently high numbers of individuals performingthem were not matched to the STS. Most of these tasks involve inspectingequipment and should be considered for inclusion in the STS:

F155 Inspect grounding or bonding cablesG194 Inspect mobile fuel distribution vehiclesG227 Perform vehicle checkpoint proceduresG180 Annotate AFTO Forms 422 (Filter Separator Pressure

Differential Log)F154 Inspect fuel meters for accuracy, leaks, or broken sealsF157 Inspect issuing or receiving hosesG193 Inspect hose cartsF153 Inspect bulk storage facilitiesF163 Maintain service station facilitiesG178 Annotate AF Forms 1800 (Operator's Inspection Guide

and Trouble Report (General Purpose Vehicles))G186 Coordinate mobile refueling vehicle inspections with

preventive maintenanceM406 Conduct or participate in mobility exercises

The technical school at Chanute has developed a tentative STS for consid-eration by career ladder managers. It was matched with the inventory tasks todetermine the coverage offered for the career ladder by traditional andjob-related methods. Forty-three of the 126 tentative STS paragraphs orsubparagraphs were not supported by at least 20 percent of one of the TAFMS orDAFSC groups. Table 22 lists the unsupported items. Thirty-one of thesesubparagraphs are involved in quality assurance or accounting functions(paragraphs 9 and 10). Laboratory Personnel (ST0077, N=147) support all ofthe Quality Assurance paragraph (STS 9); they are drawing and testing petro-leum and cryogenic samples and isolating contaminants. Quality Assurance andInspection Evaluators (ST0186, N=54) also support paragraph 9 by doing andsupervising the same tasks. Paragraph 10 (Accounting) is supported by theFuel Accounting Personnel (ST0055, N=161), who complete and audit fuelreports and listings. They are also the group who are using computer productsfor record-keeping purposes. Only two of the unmatched subparagraphs were notsupported by jobs: Materiel Deficiency Reporting System (5d) and Multi-aircraft refuel (7f(7)).

Most of the unreferenced tasks are supervisory in nature, but there werethree with high training emphasis and percent members performing:

PLAN OF INSTRUCTION (POI) ANALYSIS

The POI (dated 7 June 1988) for course E3ABR63130 000, Fuel Specialist,was reviewed to see if survey data supported it. Personnel in this careerladder at Chanute Technical Training Center accomplished this task by matchinginventory tasks to the POI. Computer products were then run on this match,giving the Training Emphasis (TE), Automated Training Indicators (ATIs), theTask Difficulty (TD), and the percent members performing the matched tasks forfirst-job personnel (1-24 months TAFMS) and first-enlistment personnel (1-48months TAFMS). Thirty percent of first-job or first-enlistment personnel mustbe performing a task matched to that area for the POI behavioral objective tobe supported. However, TE, TD, and the criticality of a task are alsoimportant factors to consider when deciding if an item should be taught at thetechnical school. ATIs provide a guideline, as the value is derived from aconsideration of all these factors.

Six of the 56 objectives in the POI were not supported by the data.Table 23 shows these areas and the percent of members performing the matchedtasks. Four of the six objectives concerned receiving, storing, issuing, andtransferring automotive fuel. These objectives should be examined to see ifother criteria warrant their inclusion in the POI.

Only five tasks with significant percent members performing were notmatched to the POI:

G207 Perform concurrent ground servicing operationsF177 Perform return-to-bulk operations using mobile

refueling vehiclesG205 Perform cold integrated combat turnaround servicing

operationsG208 Perform concurrent servicing of aircraft with

passengers on boardG178 Annotate AF Forms 1800 (Operator's Inspection

Guide and Trouble Report (General Purpose Vehicles))

All of these tasks had a high training emphasis value (over 5.49) and shouldbe considered for inclusion in the POI.

JOB SATISFACTION

Another factor included in the surveys sent to respondents is that of jobsatisfaction. Five questions are examined that will indicate the level towhich people are happy with their job: job interest, perceived use of tal-ents, perceived use of training, reenlistment intentions, and satisfactionwith the sense of accomplishment on the job. Tables 24, 25, and 26 show theseindicators by TAFMS groups as compared to other Direct Support personnelsurveyed in 1988, TAFMS groups as compared to the 1981 AFSC 631X0 surveysample TAFMS groups, and between job clusters.

When total active federal military service (TAFMS) groups were examinedto compare job satisfaction data for 631X0 members and other direct supportpersonnel (see Table 24), AFSC 631X0 first- and second-enlistment personnelfound their jobs less interesting and felt their talents were used less thanindicated by the comparative sample. However, first- and second-termers, aswell as career personnel, perceived their training to be used better ascompared to the feelings of the direct support comparative group.

Job satisfaction data comparing the present survey and previous survey(1981) TAFMS groups indicated first-termers find their jobs more interesting,feel their talents and training are utilized better, and are more satisfiedwith their sense of accomplishment than the previous survey TAFMS groups.Second-termers perceive their training to be used well versus the 1981 group,but they are less satisfied with their sense of accomplishment derived fromthe job. First- and second-termers are more likely to reenlist than their1981 counterparts. See Table 25 for the pertinent data comparisons.

AFSC 631X0 members show the highest levels of job satisfaction in thesenior jobs of Technical Instructors, Quality Assurance and Inspection Evalu-ators, Fuel Accountants, and Mobility Support Personnel. Technical jobpersonnel, especially ATC Fuel Personnel, Mobile Distribution Operators,Fuel Distribution Hydrant Operators, and Bulk Storage Hydrant Operators, arethe least satisfied as shown by the indicators in Table 26.

WRITE-IN COMMENTS

The job inventory includes a page for additional comments and informa-tion. Three basic issues appeared in many of the write-in commentaries: thedifficulty in obtaining a career job reservation (CJR), the limited oppor-tunities to obtain special experience identifiers (SEIs), and the diversity ofjobs at places with few Fuel Specialists. Many members expressed frustrationover having to cross-train into another career ladder or separate afterdeveloping expertise in a fuel job. One member said "there are many valuableairmen being forced out or having to retrain while many E-4s or E-5s are ableto reenlist but cannot be trusted with management positions." Many feel moreshould be done to help them cross-train into another career ladder and at anearlier time, such as the 2-year point.

Several respondents mentioned they had never been given an opportunity togo to school to obtain an SEI and had never been put on a rotational trainingprogram. One member said he/she was supervising cryogenics personnel who allhad been to the technical school, while he/she had not.

Other members commented on the amount of "janitorial" tasks required,such as dusting, cutting grass, painting, and performing corrosion control.Many members commented on the diversity of their jobs because of low manningat their stations.

IMPLICATIONS

This is a diverse career ladder. This heterogeneity created some prob-lems in reviewing the current and tentative STS's, but a job-specific matchshowed support for most areas in both documents. Caution should be observed,however, when using this method to justify inclusion of a paragraph in an STS;for example, if a paragraph is supported by 25 percent of a job that consistsof 12 members, such as Mobility Support Personnel (ST0230), this means onlythree members are actually performing the matched tasks. The POI should bereviewed for accuracy as several paragraphs were not supported by survey data.
