                Wingmen,

We live in consequential times, where the leaders we build, and invest in, today will shape our Air Force for generations to come. Airmen, of all ranks, must uphold our commitment to the Profession of Arms and that requires us to be lifelong learners, and to continually develop ourselves and one another.

I’m excited to share three new books, and one podcast, that will help our Airmen grow and refine the skills that will allow us to shape our Air Force into the service our Nation needs.

You continue to be the single, greatest, competitive advantage we have over any adversary or pacing challenge. I am honored to serve alongside you.

Aim High -**JOANNE S. BASS
Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force**
