Without having to bother hunting down my UTM. I'm trying to find out how many sets of cdc's there are currently for avionics. I've completed the E set and F set and im about to test on F set. I hear that they just give you the D set last now but I'm unsure. I also heard there are 14 volumes total which makes me hate life lol.

sorry for the newb post, just something i've searched and googled w/o any hard answers.

Why on earth would you ask anyone other than your training manager? Do you think you'll get a better answer here?

And by the way, CDCs are the easiest part of your job.

CDC's Wow If forgot how bad they Suck dude I hated mine passed them with flying colors but still they suck

Agreed! CDC's aren't fun but at least it's simple Q and A. Rarely that easy on the aircraft while working 12 hour shifts. Evil or Very Mad

I remember doing my last CDC--and I knew it was my last one. What a relief! Of course I was a Msgt with 30+ yrs of service at the time. Bottom line: get used to them. If you make the military a career, you'll have them from start to finish.

i love how no one actually attempted to help..nice. i dont know anything about cdc's

I think JoeSambor actually gave the best help overall, to all speedsun's of the world's air forces.

Figured it would be easier than trying to hunt him down and listening to his snotty attitude. I'm sure there are f-16 avionics guys that post on here. I never said CDC's were hard [Link pending approval] just wanted an answer on how many more I have to complete.

OK - Did you view this link? http://www.au.af.mil/au/afiadl/curricul ... fsc_fr.htm
I think it's pretty self explanatory Wink

When I took the F-16 CDCs, I had to take the 2A352A course (I think the CDC number was 45252A back then) in order to get my 5-level. I was retraining from 7-level A-7 INS/WCS and was automatically gonna be an A-shopper with the Viper. When I upgraded to the 7-level, I had to take the B- and C-shop CDCs. At the 7-level back then, all the shredouts were combined. To be quite honest with you, I have forgotten how many volumes each CDC was, but all were multiple-volumed and there was one EOC for each complete CDC.

When the Avionics AFSC was "riveted" (McPeak's infamous reorganization of AFSCs when we got the 2Axxx numbering), I was done with CDCs and since I was my squadron's Pro Super on military days (vice Avionics shop chief on civilian days), I dealt with only 7-levels and didn't have to worry about any CDCs other than PME for my folks. As a result, I can't tell you how many volumes you'll end up taking, but there will be several multiples of multiple volumes.

Clear as mud yet??

Speedsun,

If you have completed the E and F sets then yes, your last set is D, which is 3 volumes.

The D/E/F sets have now been replaced with G/H, which have fewer volumes. But since you started with E, you have to finish the D/E/F ones instead.

Back when it was still 326X7A/B/C I was at Eglin on the test side, for my 7-level, I had to do all 3, the A (F-111) B (F-15) & then the C (F-16), granted back then it was just "B-Shop" stuff...

Remember to keep your CDC's for reference, that was were the majority of the SKT portion of your grades came from when it was time to test for rank... I don't know if it's better now, but when I was in even if I "aced" my SKT the first time I tested for E-7 I wouldn't have made it because of low Time in Service / Grade numbers...
