Book excerpt: In 1976, a 2-1/2 month survey was made of the Precision Measuring Equipment (PME) Career Ladder (AFS 324X0). The sample included 1,395 respondents representing approximately 68% of the assigned manning of this ladder. Twenty-eight job types and clusters were identified. The largest cluster contains 359 members who spend the greatest amounts of their time performing tasks related to repairing electronics PME (16%); electronically aligning or adjusting PME (16%); calibrating/certifying frequency measuring and generating equipment (14%); and performing general PME functions (10%). This cluster comprises 26% of the survey sample. Analysis, repair, alignment, calibrating and certification tasks are performed on many dissimilar types of equipment involving various categories of technical knowledge and skill, such as electronic, microwave, waveform, radiac, and electro-mechanical-dimensional. Relatively few tasks are performed by more than 67% of DAFSC 32450 job incumbents. The small number of tasks performed by high percentages of 5-skill level respondents, and the generally low difficulty index on these tasks, indicates a lack of job structure uniformity in the career ladder.
