The Air Force has released the list of 45 in-demand Air Force Specialty Codes for which qualified first-term airmen can retrain in fiscal 2016.
The career fields that need the most airmen also require specialized training, according to the Air Force Personnel Center. You'll need prior qualifications to become a security force dog handler or security forces combat arms or to retrain into the medical field.
"Each AFSC has its own requirements as listed in the Air Force Enlisted Classification Directory (AFECD) located on the myPers website," according to AFPC.
First-term airmen who request training can expect an email from AFPC within 20 days telling them if they are eligible for the career field that they have requested.
