Enlisted aviator career fields open for retrainees

  • Published
HURLBURT FIELD, Fla. (AFPN) --  Opportunities for Airmen to retrain into one of eight career enlisted aviator career fields have just been released by Air Force officials here.

The Air Force has openings for first-term Airmen to retrain into the flight engineer, flight attendant, and aerial gunner specialties. 

In addition, the retraining quotas have just been released for staff sergeants and technical sergeants to retrain under the NCO Retraining Program into the boom operator, flight engineer, loadmaster, airborne mission systems, airborne battle management, aerial gunner, and cryptologic linguist career fields.

The official release of the fiscal 2008 NCO Retraining Program retraining objectives are now available on the retraining advisory located in the virtual Military Personnel Flight. 

"This is the news many Airmen have been waiting for," said Master Sgt. Randy Scanlan, the Air Force Special Operations Command career enlisted adviser in-service recruiter at Hurlburt Field. "I have spoken to many second-term/career Airmen who missed their opportunity to retrain during their first enlistment. Since they have re-enlisted, they now have a new opportunity as second-term Airmen to fill critical Air Force needs as a career enlisted aviator." 

Interested Airmen can contact their command support staff for more information. To view the retraining advisory, please log in to the vMPF and click on the request retraining link.
