New AFSC Academic Requirements 17 Mar 15

On 5/20/2015 a new AFSC Academic Requirements page was uploaded to the SharePoint.  The new page is much more detailed, but it also gave the AFRS much more flexibility with selecting personnel for certain career fields.  Here is the general summary of the new requirements for the Space Ops career field.

This update is consistent with 13S selects during the 15OT02 board, and effectively ends the speculation about STEM degree requirements for the career field.
