This is a report of an occupational survey of the Inflight Refueling Operator career ladder (AFSCs 11230, 11250, 11270, 11290) completed by the Occupational Survey Branch, USAF Occupational Measurement Center in August 1978. This is the first occupational survey of this career ladder. The personnel assigned to the Inflight Refueling Operator career ladder are primarily assigned to the Strategic Air Command (SAC) and are qualified on the KC-135 aircraft. As the USAF single manager for inflight refueling, SAC provides inflight refueling for all USAF aircraft. The inflight refueling operator's primary job is to assist the pilot in conducting the air refueling. The inflight refueling operator, commonly referred to as the 'boom operator', visually or verbally directs the receiver aircraft pilot into the refueling envelope and then uses the static boom or the drogue to conduct refueling. Additionally the boom operator serves as loadmaster when the aircraft is carrying cargo or passengers.
