Air Force Specialty Codes (AFSCs)


When enlisting in the Air Force you will have to choose an AFSC.  The AFSC you choose will determine where and what training you will do after basic.  To help you decide which job would be best for you, look back at your ASVAB scores and the areas in which you scored the highest.  These areas will show your strengths and what jobs you might excel at.
