Academy Releases Non-Rated Career Field Selections

November 19, 2014 By admin

NOVEMBER 19, 2014, U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (AFNS) – The Air Force Academy’s Manpower and Personnel Directorate released statistics Nov. 18 on cadets selected by the Air Force Personnel Center for non-rated Air Force careers.

Of the 453 Air Force Academy cadets classified into non-rated career fields, which are career fields not directly related to flying aircraft, roughly half received their first choice, said Laurie Carroll, the Academy’s Manpower and Personnel director.

“When the Air Force classifies cadets into their career field, preference is considered as an important factor,” Carroll said. “However, (the) Air Force needs take precedence. Ensuring Air Force mission needs are met sometimes means fewer cadets receive their top career field choices, but where possible, we consider individual preferences.”

In addition to the cadets who received their first choice, 18 percent received their second choice, and 9 percent received their third choice. In all, four out of five cadets entering a non-rated Air Force specialty received an Air Force specialty code out of their top three preferences, Carroll said.

Nearly 70 cadets were selected for acquisition management careers, with a nearly equal number selected for nuclear and missile operations, according to the classification results. More than 50 cadets will become intelligence officers after graduation, with approximately 40 cadets entering cyberspace operations and about 30 going into space operations.

Below is the number of cadets selected for specific career fields, ordered by Air Force specialty code.
