The Air Force uses Air Force Specialty Codes (AFSCs) to identify specific job specialties. AFSCs are alphanumeric codes where the first digit represents the career group, the second digit identifies the career field, and the third digit identifies a career field subdivision.
For enlisted AFSCs, the fourth digit identifies the skill level (1 for Helper, 3 for Apprentice, 5 for Journeyman, 7 for Craftsman, and 9 for Superintendent), and the fifth character identifies a specific job within that career field.
Below are some of the main career fields and AFSCs in the Air Force. This is not a complete list. For the most up-to-date information, please visit the official U.S. Air Force website.
