Utilization note (RegAF only):

• Award of this SDI is only authorized when an airman is filling a funded 8R000 unit manpower document (UMD) authorization. When the member is filling a valid 8R000 UMD authorization, 8R000 is authorized as the awarded (secondary, third or fourth), Control and Duty AFSC. The CAFSC will be updated after the member graduates from the formal school and signs into the new duty position (this is the same time the DAFSC changes). If there is no formal school, then the CAFSC will be updated using the same effective date as the DAFSC. Once the member is no longer filling a valid 8R000 UMD authorization, 8R000 is no longer authorized as the Control and Duty AFSC but will remain as an awarded (secondary, third or fourth) AFSC IAW AFMAN 36-2100, unless the member is disqualified from the SDI then it will not remain as an awarded AFSC. Further, 8R000 is not authorized for award as the PAFSC when filling a funded 8R000 UMD authorization unless incumbent has no other awarded AFSCs. Airmen performing 8R000 duties but not filling a funded 8R000 UMD authorization will have no change in their awarded and control AFSCs. Ensure airmen employed outside of their CAFSC are managed IAW AAFMAN 36-2100, Military Utilization and Classification. Use Outside of Control AFSC.
