The Process for changing your career field
The annual NCORP is designed to move NCOs from AFSCs with significant
overages into AFSCs with NCO shortages. This program consists of
three phases: The first phase is voluntary and the second phase
is involuntary. Retraining requirements are determined by Air Staff
and career field managers.
Eligibility Requirements
A HQ AFPC/DPPAET message announces eligibility criteria at the start
of each fiscal year program. At a minimum, NCOs must possess a 5-skill
level or above in current CAFSC and meet requirements outlined in
paragraph 3.3 of AFI 36-2626.
Phase I Retraining
A voluntary phase announcing the start of the fiscal year program.
Air Staff provides the list of AFSCs with significant overages and
shortages. The objective is to get as many volunteers in AFSCs with
overages (retraining out) to retrain into AFSCs with shortages (retraining
in). Further, all eligible airmen who are vulnerable for involuntary
retraining are formally notified and encouraged to apply
Phase II Retraining
If retraining objectives are not met through the voluntary phase,
selective retraining becomes necessary. Airmen who possess a secondary
or additional AFSC in a shortage skill are returned to those skills
if in the best interest of the Air Force. If skill imbalances still
occur, Air Staff will direct involuntary retraining into selected
AFSC shortages.
