  2. SAFMLS 2010 • Overview • Welcoming Comments • And the winners are? • CFM & MFM Responsibilities • Manning Issues • Training Issues • Questions / Comments

  3. RSV • MRDSS is broke • We can no longer put both the “Knowledge Level” and “Performance Level” requirements in MRDSS • So I chose to track the “Performance Level” tasks in MRDSS that are tied to the UTCs • All 4 RSV items are still required at least to the “knowledge level” for all 4T0X1s and must be tracked by the individual labs’ tracker or AFTR • The AF Readiness folks are working on a solution

  4. RSV for 4T0X1 • Minimum currency levels have been set for many skills. These "proficiency standards" imply a level of activity sufficient to maintain skills, but do not necessarily denote competency. 1.CLINICAL LAB – EMEDS 2. BLOOD SERVICES a. Performs emergency blood collection procedures: b. Receives blood into facility c. Thaws/deglycerolizes blood products (PACAF/USAFE) 3. MICROBIOLOGY SERVICES 4. BIOLOGICAL WARFARE (BW) TASKS

  5. CFM Responsibilities • I have very little input in the assignment process • Air Force leveling working with DPA • AFSC Consultant to HQ AFPC/DPA (assignments) • Sign-off on special duty, special coding (code 50) • MAJCOM have some control of the process • They control spaces not “by name requests” • TTGs, cross-trainees and return from overseas • Command Leveling • BOP are the best option

  6. CFM Responsibilities • Manage 4T0XX AFSCs/SMSgt Davidson Histo SME • Determine need for and conduct U&TWs • Manage development, implementation and maintenance of CFETPs • Review ETP retraining requests • Assist the office of the AF/SG and Chief, Medical Enlisted Issues pertaining to the 4T career field • Identify SMEs for SKT rewrite projects; consultant for promotion test content and question validity inquires • Act as waiver authority for training (ASVAB) (prior experience)

  7. MAJCOM FMs

  8. MAJCOM FMs • Appointed by MAJCOM / SG with my input • Act as MAJCOM voting rep at U&TWs • Work with MAJCOM DP to balance manning • Assist CFM with gathering inputs, data and identifying SMEs and SKT rewrites • Relay information throughout command • Primary MAJCOM reviewer on AFSC-specific, individualized training • Primary MAJCOM SME • Assist MAJCOM CMEF with lab issues and AFMS awards

  9. 288,720 Enlisted • Airman Basic (E-1) - 13,693 (4.7%) • Airman (E-2) - 12,712 (4.4%) • Airman First Class (E-3) - 53,094 (18.3%) • Senior Airman (E-4) - 53,223 (18.4%) • Staff Sergeant (E-5) - 72,388 (25.0%) • Technical Sergeant (E-6) - 43,992 (15.2%) • Master Sergeant (E-7) - 31,061 (10.8%) • Senior Master Sergeant (E-8) - 5,681 (2.0%) • Chief Master Sergeant (E-9) - 2,876 (1.0%) About 1200 are Lab techs

  10. Manning and X-training • Under CAREERS 1st term Airman have better chances but it’s not guaranteed • Window for 4-year Airman 35 – 43 months • Window for 6-year Airman 59 – 67 months • If overseas 15- 9 months prior to DEROS • As the CFM I only approve Exceptions to the Policy (ETP) -- Non-1st term or NCORP • All cross-training packages are considered, however • Commissioning, special duty & PME are more likely to be approved • The following is what I use to determine release for 4T
