DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCEAir Force Job QualificationHeadquarters US Air ForceStandard XXXXX-212NWashington DC 20330-1680XXXXX-212.142 February 2000TACTICAL ANTENNASSECTION A: GENERAL1.This Air Force Job Qualification Standard (AFJQS) and attached Air Force Qualification TrainingPackage (AFQTP) standardize on-the-job training (OJT) tasks and constitute an approved training program
for Tactical Antennas. The AFJQS and AFQTP are used by unit training managers, supervisors, trainers,
trainees, and other training functions to plan, conduct, and document OJT on this equipment.2.Maintain the AFJQS IAW AFI 36-2201, AFI 36-2233, and AFMAN 36-2247. Routine changes willbe accomplished via page changes and urgent changes will be disseminated via message. Enter additional
local tasks in the blank areas on the AFJQS or add forms. Develop Task Training Guides for added tasks;
they should be consistent in content and format with those in the AFQTP. Submit recommended
AFJQS/AFQTP improvements/corrections to the 81 TRSS Qualification Training Flight (81 TRSS/TSQS,
601 D Street, Keesler AFB MS 39534-2229).3.Review Air Force publishing bulletins and AFIND8 to identify available training materials. Use thisAFJQS in conjunction with other applicable JQSs or the Career Field Education and Training Plan (CFETP)
and locally assigned tasks to identify work center duty positions. Also, use this AFJQS along with other
applicable JQSs and the CFETP to evaluate newly assigned personnel and identify individual training
requirements.4.Tasks listed on the AFJQS have been selected IAW the Instructional System Development (ISD)process and are the minimum, mandatory AF training requirements for this equipment. The “X” code in the
Core Task column of the AF Form 797 is used to indicate that the individual must be trained and certified on
that particular task. The “X*” code identifies tasks that may not be common to all equipment, however, the
task must be trained if it is assigned to the individual’s duty position. The “—” code is used to indicate that
training on this task is a local determination while ensuring 100 percent task coverage within the work center.5.Trainees must accurately perform each assigned task unassisted IAW Technical References (TR) priorto being certified. To qualify for skill-level upgrade, trainees must be certified on assigned tasks,
satisfactorily complete career knowledge training, and meet mandatory specialty qualifications IAW AFI 36-
2101, AFI 36-2201, and AFMAN 36-2108. After upgrade, assign individuals to other work center duty
positions and continue qualification training.____________Supersedes AFJQS XXXXX-212N, dated 1 October 1999

DISTRIBUTION: XSECTION B: DOCUMENTATION1.AFJQS/CFETP tasks will be compiled in an automated training management system, such as the CoreAutomated Maintenance System (CAMS), if available. The system must contain each AFJQS/CFETP title
line with appropriate AFJQS/CFETP numbers, titles, and dates. AFJQS/CFETP and automated
documentation requirements are listed below. The alphanumeric AFJQS number is converted to a dotted
decimal number for use in CAMS. Alphanumeric numbers have been converted by retaining the 200 series
number and changing the alpha character to the corresponding number, i.e., -200B becomes -200.2 and
-201LB becomes -201.12.2.a.Load applicable tasks in the automated training system or identify training requirements bycircling the task numbers on each individual's AFJQS/CFETP.b.If task statements contain more than one noun or action verb which precludes certification on theentire task, load/circle the noun or verb to indicate the individual is being trained only on that portion of the
task.c.When training is started on a task, enter the start date in the appropriate place. When training iscomplete, document training and task certification IAW local certification procedures.2.The identification blocks listed below are to be used when the trainer is other than the trainee'simmediate supervisor.TRAINEE'S NAME:INITIALS:SSN:TRAINER'S NAME, INITIALS, DATE:TRAINER'S NAME, INITIALS, DATE:TRAINER'S NAME, INITIALS, DATE:TRAINER'S NAME, INITIALS, DATE:TRAINER'S NAME, INITIALS, DATE:BY ORDER OF THE SECRETARY OF THE AIR FORCEOFFICIALJOHN W.

For more information on the 81 TRSS Qualification Training
Flight and a list of other products that are available, feel free to
visit our home page athttp://www.keesler.af.mil/81trss/qflight.IMPORTANT INFORMATIONThe following training guidance is intended for use by qualified
trainers. It is mandatory that trainers complete Air Force
Training Course J6AJI3S251-000 before attempting to train
anyone on this material. Contact your unit training manager to
obtain training on this course.
This training package was developed with four objectives in
mind.•Standardize on-the-job training.•Reduce training time while maintaining proficiency
standards.•Provide trainers and trainees with a logically organized
training plan which yields immediate and measurable
feedback.•Provide a standard to measure task knowledge and
performance during personnel evaluations.HOW TO USE THIS TRAINING PACKAGEPACKAGE DESCRIPTIONThis training package consists of•an AF Form 797 that lists all tasks performed during
development of OJT material that require structured training
and certification.•a Trainer’s Guide that provides the trainer with instructions
on how to effectively conduct on-the-job training using this
training package. The Trainer’s Guide includes Task
Training Guides (TTG) and covers every task listed on the
AF Form 797. The task evaluation checklists reflect the
major areas of a task which must be performed satisfactorily
before certification. A Training Completion Certification is
attached.TG XXXXX-212N, Page iii•Skill Training Material (STM) which contains training
modules, review questions, performance procedures, and a
review question confirmation key.•a Knowledge Evaluation Pamphlet (KEP) which contains a
test for each module. Keep the pamphlet separate until you
are ready to administer the tests. Detach and store the KEP
Key and Answer Sheet(s) in a secure place to ensure the
KEP is not compromised.INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THIS TRAINING PACKAGE•Review the trainee’s training record (AF Form 623) and
determine the trainee’s previous training and certification.•Assign the trainee to a duty position and develop the
trainee’s individual training plan (ITP) (see Figure 1 for an
example of a computer-generated plan). Using the ITP,
select the first task for training and review the applicable
TTG.•Ensure all training references are available and all
prerequisites for that task are met.•Discuss with trainee the task objective(s) and training steps.
Assign corresponding STM module for the trainee to
complete.•When you are satisfied with the trainee’s knowledge of the
material, administer the KEP. (Normally, the trainee is
NOT permitted to use TRs but if TR use is permitted, it will
be stated at the beginning of each KEP test and a score of
100 percent required. Otherwise, the trainee must score a
minimum of 70 percent on the KEP tests.) Check the
trainee’s answers against the KEP Confirmation Key and
review missed questions with trainee to ensure
understanding of the material. If the score is less than what
is required, have the trainee restudy the module and retake
the test. Using TRs and the Task Evaluation Checklist as
guidance, explain the task performance procedures to the
trainee. Demonstrate the task procedures to the trainee and
answer any questions. Have the trainee practice and explain
the task procedures to you.•Have the trainee perform the task procedures unassisted.
Using the Task Evaluation Checklist, evaluate the trainee’s
performance. Should the trainee fail, determine the cause of
unsatisfactory performance. Reevaluate the trainee when
you are satisfied the task can be performed unassisted.
When the trainee performs the task at the desired level of
proficiency without assistance, document training and task
certification IAW local certification procedures.•Using the ITP, assign additional tasks until the trainee
completes the requirements for the duty position. If, before
completing this training package, the trainee is reassigned to
another location which has a need for this training, wePage iv, TG XXXXX-212Nrecommend you forward the training material to the gaining
work center.•Schedule periodic evaluations after the trainee is task
certified. You may use the performance procedures, task
evaluation checklists, or the KEP.•When training is completed, remove the attached Training
Completion Certification and give it to the trainee so he/she
may make recommendations, suggestions, or offer
corrections to the training package in the comments section.
Mail the completed Training Completion Certification to the
address specified. Upon receipt of a properly completed
training certification, a Certificate of Training will be
forwarded through channels to the trainee.TG XXXXX-212N, Page vINDIVIDUAL TRAINING PLANTRAINEE: Amn SmithTRAINER: SSgt JonesAFJQS NUMBER/TASK NUMBERESTIMATEDTRAININGTIMEESTIMATED STARTTIMEDATETRAININGCOMPLETEDREMARKSXXXXX-XXXX/1/22 days4 hours21 Jun 9824 Jun 9823 Jun 9825 Jun 98Figure 1.
