Frequently asked questions

How many Air Force AFSC codes are there?

This directory currently lists 235 active Air Force codes across 9 career areas. Retired and superseded codes are in the legacy archive with links to their successors.

What is an AFSC?

AFSC stands for Air Force Specialty Code, a five character code like 1D7X4. The fourth character is the skill level, written as X when referring to the specialty as a whole and as 1, 3, 5, or 7 on individual orders. Some specialties add a suffix letter, called a shred, for a narrower track.

Where does this AFSC data come from?

Codes and titles follow the Department of the Air Force Enlisted and Officer Classification Directories (DAFECD and DAFOCD) and are cross-checked against AF COOL, the Air Force credentialing program.
