How Does It Work?
I think
I’d like to retrain!
* Do your homework.
* Research what’s available.
* Are you in your eligibility window?
* How competitive are your records
right now (rank, EPRs, etc.)
First term airmen apply under the
Quality Retraining Program
No matter what your AFSC and manning
are, you can still apply to retrain.
This program focuses on a quality basis,
not on a “first come, first serve” basis.
Retraining selection is a competitive
process. Your retraining package is
prioritized according to the following:
- Most recent EPR
- Current grade/projected grade
- Next two EPRs
- Date of rank/TAFMSD
- AQE scores (can be retaken)
Second term and career airmen can
apply under the NCO Retraining Program
(NCORP) at any time.
The purpose of the NCORP is to
balance the enlisted force through
selective retraining of SSgts-MSgts
from overage AFSCs to AFSCs
experiencing shortages. This can result in
involuntary retraining of second term and
career airmen.
Know when to apply!

Be flexible with job choices. Consider other
job opportunities. The more choices you
provide the better the chances of getting
something you want.
Know what jobs are available during your
retraining window. If your dream job isn’t
available at that time, either wait to see if it
becomes available later or consider another job.
Make sure you are suitable for the position.
Do you meet the criteria for the job you are
applying for? If not, look for alternatives.
