We place tremendous emphasis on training and education in our Air Force. Not just initially upon recruitment, but we also encourage training and education at all levels of management, for both new recruits and supervisors alike. In order to remain competitive for increased leadership opportunities, all of our people must become proficient in both their assigned specialties and their chosen profession. These are the core values that will sustain us as we look ahead. Yes, our Air Force has made progress, but we are not satisfied with the status quo, as good as it may be.
Women yearn for more and better ways to serve.
Our Service has always been inextricably linked to progress through innovation. That s where you can help. I want to challenge each of you to build on our Air Force s progress. Please look around your work places and ask what you re doing to improve the quality of life in your organization. So I leave with you this common denominator of responsibility that unites policy-making and technology.
