Air Force revises CJR 'wait list'
By Master Sgt. Randy L. Mitchell

RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas – The Air Force has revised the career job reservation list in an effort to meet end strength goals under Force Shaping.

While five new Air Force specialties have been identified as constrained, another six have been released from the list.  All constrained Air Force Specialty Codes receive quotas; have a rank order/wait list established, and all first-term Airmen will need to apply within the appropriate CJR application windows. 

“All first-term Airmen must have an approved career job reservation prior to reenlisting in the Air Force,” said Master Sgt. Dee Wolfe, noncommissioned officer-in-charge of Air Force Reenlistments at the Air Force Personnel Center here. “That job reservation may now be a little bit harder to get depending on their specialty.

“The list of constrained Air Force specialties and quotas are established by Air Staff,” she added. 

Limiting CJRs is the latest in a series of Air Force initiatives to ensure the service keeps people only where they are needed.

What that means is first-term Airmen serving in career fields that are currently constrained may not be allowed to reenlist, unless they are approved to retrain in another specialty. 

“Those who are not approved for retraining or do not receive a CJR will be projected for separation,” said Sergeant Wolfe.  “We encourage airmen to continue serving the military with the Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve, through military civilian employment, or through an inter-service transfer to the Army via blue to green.”

Only first-term Airmen selected for reenlistment by their commander under the Selective Reenlistment Program will be allowed to apply for a CJR.

For further information and a complete list of constrained AFSCs, please contact the local Military Personnel Flight’s reenlistment office or visit the CJR website at http://www.afpc.randolph.af.mil/enlskills/Reenlistments/CJR.htm
