The last proposed change is in how AMU leaders view and develop airman. Leaders must meet millennials at their level, and cater to their abilities. Empower them by not micromanaging them, and treat them like adults even when they act immaturely. This will teach them through experience that they do not get their way

the world through its aggressive expansion. A metaphor Ishmael used in the book (pages 61-63) was that Takers expansion in the world can be viewed like an early airman testing out the first aircraft with flapping wings, its design based on a mistaken understanding of the laws of flight. As the flight starts out, all is well, as the airman moving through the air freely. However, he is actually in freefall, as the device is not fit for flying.

I would like to express my gratitude to my flight commander for allowing me the opportunity to respond to this Letter of Reprimand and respectfully ask that the following information be taken into consideration.

It is important to coach, develop and communicate to our airman to understand their structure and roles not only in the shop, but also for the Air Force as a whole. In order to motivate people, you need to be able to lead them in the correct way. In Airman Leadership School, I also realized that the Air Force and business world aren’t that different.

It was precisely 0500 and I could hear the cadres yelling from outside the tent. I frantically jumped out of bed and but my combat boots on. This was just the start of Basic Expeditionary Airman Skills Training Week (B.E.A.S.T. week) in week five of Basic Military Training for the United States Air Force. B.E.A.S.T week is a deployment simulation during our basic military training course. Every morning my flight and I were up and running by 0500.We had our combat boots, flak vest, helmet, and our
