Welcome to the Personnel/Manpower AFSC discussion blog. The purpose of this blog is to foster discussion between future Air Force officers interested in the Personnel/Manpower career field and current officers in Personnel/Manpower. The views expressed in this blog are solely the opinions of the individual authors and not of the United States Air Force nor the Department of Defense.
Day in the Life Squadron Section Commander (CCQ): You assist the squadron commander in the day to day administrative and disciplinary issues of the unit as well as promote morale and welfare to squadron personnel. EPR/OPR tracking and squadron programs are under your responsibility and late evaluations are a big "no-no" in the Air Force. The commander's support staff (CSS) typically works directly for you and on average is made up of 4 enlisted personnel who you rate and supervise.
You work closely with the first sergeant and commander on disciplinary issues such as LOR/UIFs and Article 15s. It will be left up to the squadron commander whether or not you are on G-series orders which give you command authority to hand down non-judical punishment to enlisted members (most CCQs have command authority).
You will work with other base agencies such as the MPF, JAG, and HAWC to name a few
Typical Day:
Early AM: Arrive at work,check and answer e-mail, meet with the NCOIC of the commander support staff (CSS) and discuss squadron administrative issues such as late EPRs/OPRs,WAPS testing (if the season), fitness program, MILPDS, etc...
Late AM: Review EPRs/OPRs, awards and decorations, letters for commander's signature, etc...
Lunch/gym time: Usually a hour for lunch or 1 1/2 hours if you go to the gym. Lunch is a good time to network with other junior officers.
Early afternoon: Meet with the commander and first sergeant to discuss squadron disciplinary issues.
Once a week squadron staff meetings will cover mostly administraive issues which you are in charge of.
Late afternoon: Visit JAG or MPF on legal issues or personnel programs. This is also a good time to make rounds in the squadron and visit with squadron members.
Depending on your squadron's mission typical hours are from 0700-1700
