- Source: Air Force Specialty Code
The Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) is an alphanumeric code used by the United States Air Force to identify a specific job. Officer AFSCs consist of four characters and enlisted AFSCs consist of five characters. A letter prefix or suffix may be used with an AFSC when more specific identification of position requirements and individual qualifications is necessary. The AFSC is similar to the Military Occupational Specialty Codes (MOS Codes) used by the United States Army and the United States Marine Corps or enlisted ratings and USN officer designators and Naval Officer Billet Classifications (NOBCs) used by the United States Navy and enlisted ratings and USCG officer specialties used by the United States Coast Guard. The United States Space Force equivalent is known as the Space Force Specialty Code (SFSC).
History
After the Air Force separated from the Army in 1947, it retained the Army's system of MOS occupation codes, modifying them in 1954. These were 5-digit codes; for example a maintenance data systems specialist was 39150 and a weather technician was 25170. In October 1993, the Air Force implemented a new system of AFSCs, aligning occupations with the force wide restructuring that was implemented under Merrill McPeak. These reduced officer AFSCs from 216 to 123 and enlisted AFSCs from 203 to 176.
Enlisted AFSCs
The enlisted AFSC consists of five alphanumeric characters:
Career group (Numerical)
Operations
Logistics & Maintenance
Support
Medical
Professional
Acquisition
Special Investigations
Special Duty Identifiers, typically used for Airmen chosen for specialized jobs
Reporting Identifiers, typically used for Airmen in transitive status: trainees, awaiting retraining, prisoner, etc. And occasionally for Airmen chosen for specialized jobs.
Career field (Alpha, different for each)
Career field subdivision (Numerical, different for each)
Skill level
1 – Helper (recruits or trainees in technical school)
3 – Apprentice (technical school graduates applying and expanding their job skills)
5 – Journeyman (experienced Airmen functioning as front-line technicians and initial trainers)
7 – Craftsman (Airmen with many years of experience in the specialty, responsible for supervision and training)
9 – Superintendent (Airmen in the grade of Senior Master Sergeant and above, with at least 14 years of experience, responsible for broad supervision)
0 – Chief Enlisted Manager (CEM) (Airmen in the grade of Chief Master Sergeant responsible for policy and direction on a broad scale, from the individual squadron to HQ USAF levels)
Specific AFSC (Numeric, specialty within career field subdivision)
For example, in the AFSC 1N371:
The career group is 1 (Operations)
The career field is 1N (Intelligence)
The career field subdivision is 1N3 (Cryptologic Linguist)
The skill level is 7 (Craftsman)
The specific AFSC is 1N371 (Crypto-Linguist)
For some specialties, an alpha prefix is used to denote a special ability, skill, qualification or system designator not restricted to a single AFSC (such as "X" for an aircrew position). Additionally, an alpha suffix (a "shredout") denotes positions associated with particular equipment or functions within a single specialty (an Afrikaans specialist in the Germanic linguist field would have an "E" shredout). Using the above example, the AFSC X1N371E would refer to a Germanic Cryptologic Linguist who is aircrew qualified and specializes in Afrikaans.
Here is an extended listing of AFSC groups. Most categories have numerous actual AFSCs in them.

0 – Qualified commander (when used in conjunction with “C” in the 3rd position)
1 – Entry (any AFSC)
2 – Intermediate (is only used for pilots, bomber navigators, missile launch officers, and cyberspace officers)
3 – Qualified (any AFSC)
4 – Staff (relates only to the level of functional responsibility and is restricted to positions above wing level; it does not denote additional specialty qualifications)
For example, in the AFSC 11M4:
The career group is 11 (Pilot)
The functional area is M (Mobility)
The qualification level is 4 (Staff)
For example, in the AFSC T63A3
The career group is 63 (acquisition manager)
The functional area is A (all 63 officers are "A")
The qualification level is 3 (fully qualified)
The prefix "T" designates a formal training instructor (other prefixes are available for other specialty positions)
As with enlisted AFSCs, prefixes and suffixes may be applied to make the AFSC more specific.

Additional information
During the course of their Air Force careers, Airmen sometimes switch jobs and receive multiple AFSCs to denote training in multiple specialties. A Primary AFSC (PAFSC) is the designation for the specialty in which the individual possesses the highest skill level and is, therefore, the AFSC that he or she is best qualified to perform. The Duty AFSC (DAFSC) reflects the actual manpower position the Airman is assigned to. The Control AFSC (CAFSC) is a management tool to make assignments, assist in determining training requirements, and consider individuals for promotion. Often an enlisted Airman's PAFSC will reflect a higher skill level than his or her CAFSC since the CAFSC skill level is tied to rank while the PAFSC skill level is tied to performance and education.
Usually, the PAFSC, DAFSC, and CAFSC will be the same. However, situations such as retraining, special duties, or Air Force-level changes necessitate these distinctions. Additionally, Airmen that have retrained into multiple specialties will have several Secondary AFSCs (2AFSC, 3AFSC, etc.). Air Force officers are limited to 3 AFSCs in MilPDS while Enlisted may have 4 AFSCs on record.
Special Experience Identifiers (SEIs) are established to identify special experience and training. The Air Force Enlisted Classification Directory (AFECD) and Air Force Officer Classification Directory (AFOCD) Section III contains the complete list of authorized SEIs and includes designation criteria and authorized AFSC combinations. (AFMAN 36–2100)
Enlisted personnel may wear the master badge as a Master Sergeant or above with 5 years in the specialty from award of the 7-skill level. Officers wear the master badge after 15 years in the specialty.
