In-flight Ordinance positions were absorbed by In-Flight Technicians (AWV rating) over a decade ago, and all Aircrew duties were further merged into a series of 5 AW subratings back in Fiscal Year 2009. Any non-AW rates holding an Aircrew duty had to force-convert to AWF/AWV or lose their flying status. Unfortunately, the only way to become an Aircrewman now would be to drop your AO contract and sign a 6yr contract with ATF/AIRC as the program/rating... or become a rated Aviation Ordinanceman and attempt to cross-rate into Aircrew after a minimum of 2 years.
