Airmen Sought for Retraining

Week of August 18, 2008

Air Force officials are looking for volunteers to accept jobs in more than 1,077 shortage career field and special duty positions during the 2009 Noncommissioned Officer Retraining Program, which began Aug. 1, 2008. Officials especially need NCOs to choose opportunities in the Office of Special Investigation career field or to lead Airmen as a "shirt" in the first sergeant career field. NCOs were notified Aug. 6 that they have been identified to retrain. They must choose from the listing of shortage career fields when submitting their retraining packages, which are due no later than Sept. 30, 2008. Eligible NCOs can now apply for retraining through the Air Force Personnel Center online applications process. Personnel assistance is available for retraining questions through the 24-hour Air Force Contact Center at (800) 616-3775 or DSN 665-5000 or through your base career assistance advisor.
