Airman

named, Senior Airman Robert Gray. One an evening in January of 1978, he was in pursuit of several intruders near the flight line. After he released his dog and attempted apprehension, one of the intruders brutally stabbed Airman Gray. Then, they stole his service revolver and shot his dog, Casey. Sadly, Airman Gray died of the wounds suffered in the skirmish; however, Casey survived his gunshot wounds and was returned to duty. Airman Gray was only 22 years old when his watch ended. Airman Gray didn’t

As a leader in the military, I encountered an airman who was low on the emotional intelligence scale. He survived basic training and a pretty intense two month technical school that required he learn at a fast pace while still adjusting to military norms. He lasted less than two years in the military before he was asked to leave. This airman had met all the military prerequisites. To work in the public affairs arena he had to score pretty well on the military entrance exam, so he met the usual predictor

General Daniel “Chappie” James Jr. Introduction General Daniel “Chappie” James Jr. stated, “Our greatest weapon is one we have always possessed – our heritage of freedom, our unity as a nation.” (QUOTE) Now imagine if you was in the Air Force in 1945 as a fighter pilot and you just came back from war but you was not allowed to sit or eat in the same establishments as your white counterparts. General James knew that with no barriers the Air Force could be the strongest Airpower in the world but it

If an airman becomes disabled or unable to work due to an illness, they will continue to receive benefits (Insurance). Not only is insurance helpful and important to many airmen, but so are retirement plans. An airman can retire after twenty years in the service (Retirement). Unlike the Air Force, civilians have to wait until a certain age which can range from

Che Guevara Words without deeds are worthless! When asked about Che Guevara the first thing that is mentioned is the famous image of his face on t-shirts worn by left-leaning young adults, but did you know he was a prominent figure in the Cuban Revolution? Guevara was both a visionary and ethical leader because of his ability to lead the Cuban Revolution and because he cared about suffering. In this paper we will review how Guevara was a visionary leader through his communication, continuous engagement

the FAIR way, you will be able to lead your Airman in a “challenging environment” (Course 15). So how does one lead the FAIR way? First, leading the FAIR way begins with giving or providing feedback. Giving and providing feedback negates any social behavioral Tendencies by leading to “understanding, reality, Alignment” (Course 15). The next part of leading the FAIR way is Assistance, this essentially means actually providing assistance to your Airman and helping in their work and social life. The

in 1984, as an E-1, I made $573.60 in base pay, $122.70 in Housing Allowance, and $140.00 for Basic Allowance for Subsistence (food). An airman who joins today makes $1467.60 in monthly base pay, $462 in Housing allowance, and $352.05 in Basic Allowance for Subsistence. This is definitely more than what a civilian making minimum wage brings home but an airman is on duty 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. There is no overtime pay in the military and it is not unusual to pull over 12 hours a day

atmosphere, the Airman is able to remove air friction from the equation until reentry if reentry is even needed. The claim is not that physics in space is less difficult to apply in warfare than in the air, it is that an Airman, who is well versed in applying physics, is fully equipped to be able to extend his or her expertise in the fourth dimensional aspects of warfare to the objectives of the Combatant Commanders. The relationship between air and space is a seamless one to the Airman. Separating air

Since FAA certificated Airman Timberlake is neither an alien nor is he a beginning “flight training” candidate, he is an exempted FAA licensed airplane pilot. Consequently, Pilot Timberlake believes WSCC officials disallowed his exemptee ID documentation, because of his race (Black) and his national origin (US). Specialist Roberts, License Pilot Timberlake is harmed by the unlawful denial of his WSCC perfected FTP enrollment application for ground school, et cetera. Airman Timberlake needed the

Throughout this paper I will discuss his ability to be both a visionary and ethical leader, which resulted in CMSgt Airey being labeled a “legend” (LaGrone, 2009, p.2). He was described by the former Chief of Staff, General Norton Schwartz as an “Airman’s Airman and “one of the true pioneers of the service” (LaGrone, 2009, p.2). CMSgt Airey has left a legacy that will
