AF Initiates New Specialty Code Week of September 17, 2012
Almost 470 flight engineers, aerial gunners and loadmasters who fly Air Force Special Operations Command's CV-22, AC-130 and Non-Standard Aviation aircraft are transitioning to one Air Force specialty code, 1A9X1 Special Mission Aviation starting in November. The new AFSC will also include HH-60 flight engineers and aerial gunners and UH-1 flight engineers from across the Air Force. For promotion within the new AFSC, Airmen transitioning to 1A9X1 can expect the Professional Fitness Exam for at least a year until a Career Development Course and Specialty Knowledge Test can be developed. For more information or for retraining opportunities into Special Mission Aviation, contact Master Sgt. Matt Ardis, CEA In-Service Recruiter, at cea.recruiting@pentagon.af.mil . For questions specific to serving as a SOFCEA in AFSOC, e-mail afsoc.sofcea@hurlburt.af.mil or visit their Facebook page.

When I went through Enlisted Aircrew Undergraduate Course (EAUC - now called "Aircrew Fundementals" I understand) they pulled the 5-6 of us FE's together, and told us that this was the plan. That was back in 2006. None of us in my class had anything to worry about though unless they went Special Operations. (I know a few that did eventually when my unit went to C-130J's, and we got rid of the FE's and NAV's.) The fixed wing FE's are still regular 1A1's though. (C-130, C-5, KC-10, E-3 (AWACS), E-4 (NEACP), etc.)
