• A. Awarded after 6 months of OTJ training
• B. Awarded upon rank of SSgt or higher, at least 12 months of OTJ training, also take Operational Entomology Course, a 7-skill level in STS, supervisor recommendation, also train and develop subordinates.
• C. Requires only the completion of CDCs.
• D. Awarded after attending the Entomology Seminar.

Answer: (B)

Craftsman at this 4E071 level is a mid-career, fully trusted technician in the Public Health/Entomology track who combines technical mastery with leadership responsibilities. Earning this level requires more than time on the job; you must be at least SSgt or higher, have at least 12 months of on-the-job training, complete the Operational Entomology Course, hold the 7-level in the Specialty Training Standards, receive a supervisor’s recommendation, and be capable of training and developing subordinates. This combination ensures you not only perform advanced entomology tasks but also guide others and contribute to squadron readiness. Shorter time on the job, only CDC completion, or attending a seminar without the broader set of requirements doesn’t demonstrate the same level of evolved competence and leadership.
