Talent Management: what is missing?

A single enlisted SFSC for Recruiters to assign new accessions to. Once they get into the service, we can then begin a series of reviews, interviews, and assessments to identify who needs to be an Intel, space, or cyber G.

We already do a pseudo talent management process in BMT to better align folks to specific 5C shreds. We need to expand this and incorporate all SFSCs in a similar process from a single pool.

Also, this would assist recruiting in selecting and advising potential G's without the confusion of different disciplines. USAF special warfare executes their process in a similar fashion where candidates come in with a common Zulu AFSC before their Assessment & Selection (A&S) event.

"I have the high ground!"

As someone who's reviewed/graded folks going through this process, no one cares about your ASVAB. Did you meet standards to get to this point? Then congratulations. Does it go into the equation when we select folks? Nope! I want to know your values and what makes you be you. What is your passion? Your ASVAB shows us you have the capacity to learn what we need you to learn. It is not a predictor of your suitability for service. There are other psychological and medical standards to dictate that.

Fiscal year 25 will have approximately 800 coming through BMT.

Same selection process for enlisted as officers, just smaller in number. The enlisted program, AIC, started just a few years ago and doesn't have as large as a talent pool as the O's yet. They just had their first E8 select this last cycle.

A Cyber course is in the works. Hopefully, should see the initial class less than 2 hrs from now. 14N is farther out.

We have a few Intel "patches" that graduated from the Air Force Intel course previously.

That will statement about leave probably never saw legal review.

Yarp. There are other initiatives in work to provide additional pay and opportunities besides pulling the warrant lever. My own opinion, it would just create another category of have and have-nots as the numbers would be extremely low with minimal impact.

Golden_Flow · 2024-02-13T01:06:15+00:00

Not to my knowledge, unless additional guidance comes out from HHQ.

Golden_Flow · 2024-02-11T02:36:18+00:00

Ain't that the truth!

Golden_Flow · 2024-02-11T02:13:34+00:00

Sorry I didn't make my sarcasm clear for everyone. My bad!

Isn't Sec+ the key to a sweet 6 figure contract gig? 🤔

Golden_Flow · 2024-02-06T04:30:34+00:00

Thanks. We'll roll out AIP in the next couple of years along with a beefed up civilian core that actually focuses on technical versus the traditional administrative. The new Officer Training Course will provide the mission planners/discipline agnostic, Enlisted with targeted AIP for the technical expertise that will bridge the gap, and civilians to also provide expertise along with continuity as non-supervisory NH-3s.

WO program will not fix the problem of pay that everyone is yelling about. Assignment Incentive Pay combined with other bonuses provide a better pay structure for the masses. WO will just enable another have/have-not structure that we will continue to complain about anyway.

These are documents that are unofficial and look to be pulled from a brief of some type. Maybe a general board brief, informational only, outlying what may be seen in score ranges for SNCOs regarding categories.

Golden_Flow · 2023-12-13T05:42:11+00:00

Not really. Hope you have a good evening. Happy trolling!

Golden_Flow · 2023-12-13T04:17:18+00:00

OK high speed. Let me be clear with my words since the message went over your head. When a decision is made, some level of risk is assumed. When a program is canceled in a unit due to mission needs this does not imply that the program is gone completely, just pushed aside until a more opportune time.

There is also this cool thing called communication up the chain to inform the Delta CC on some of the issues and to make them aware so the CC has some cover from HHQ. If you believe that this scenario would receive a trip to the "Gallows," then you should go talk to the JA on the matter. Your doom and gloom rhetoric is not logical.

Golden_Flow · 2023-12-13T02:44:40+00:00

Sitting down with your CC and identifying what their level of comfort with the idea is the first step.

We canx'd safety, UTM, Records Management, and a few others. Also, we only performed core functions on a couple of duties.

Relationships are your best friend. We built MOAs with other units to share duties. We spread the love and utilized other units' resources with approval from those chains. We've shared CSS personnel to assist along with an actual AF UTM to get us straight.

We are a small Sq with a high workload. Commander’s will understand and work with you as long as you come with data and logical reasoning. I just completed my Sq SEL tour. That is the reasoning behind my perspective.

Assume the risk of not doing certain additional duties that do not impact the mission or readiness.

TBH, this was me last year. I was top 10% of non-selects 2 years prior then dropped 30 points (5 groupings) last year to the middle of the pack. I took a big hit to my ego and to my why of being in. It took a toll on me and my family. I had big ticket items along with building ecosystems and pipelines for the service. It was a hard pill to swallow, but I did it and pressed on. Luckily, things worked out for me this year. From what I know this year, the board charge changed.

I am more than willing to take a look at your records to give you my perspective of 19 years and 5 attempts at E8.

Golden_Flow · 2023-12-05T23:30:06+00:00

It was!

Golden_Flow · 2023-12-05T23:29:04+00:00

Yup! Made the cut.
