First sergeants defined by Senior Airman Ashley Perdue 6th Air Mobility Wing Public Affairs When thinking about the role of a first sergeant, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Disciplinarian? Counselor? Confidant? Mentor? Leader? If all of these apply, that’s because this is exactly what it means to be a “Shirt” or “Diamond”—that critical liaison who exists between a commander and their Airmen as a trusted counselor in times of trial. The job of a first sergeant has always existed throughout the military and once the Air Force became its own service, this job evolved into a spe- cial duty assignment. With this new special assignment came a change with the chevron, a diamond was placed within the rank insignia, hence the nickname “Diamonds”. To be a first sergeant, the requirements and training are always evolv- ing but one thing that will never change is the responsibility of taking care of Airmen. “The first sergeant motto is, ‘people are our business,’” stated Master U.S. Air Force graphic Sgt.

  • Warrior Ethos and the American Airman
    USAFA Photo Illustration by Mark Watkins 24TH ANNUAL NATIONAL CHARACTER AND LEADERSHIP SYMPOSIUM WARRIOR ETHOS AND THE AMERICAN AIRMAN FEBRUARY 23 – 24, 2017 Warrior Ethos and the American Airman This year’s National Character and Leadership Symposium (NCLS) builds on Air Force core values and leadership principles to focus on warrior ethos, directly reinforcing the Air Force Chief of Staff’s emphasis on “getting back to the basics” of our business. This NCLS is designed to illuminate the strength of character that a warrior needs, the kinds of challenges faced in serious, sometimes deadly struggles, and what drives men and women to prevail in times of great adversity. This year’s program cover features members of the Cadet Wing in formation, superimposed on the Center for Character and Leadership Development’s new home, Polaris Hall, which opened its doors in the summer of 2016. The Cadet officers’ sabers reflect the ancient profession of arms, linking yesterday’s warriors with today’s. In the background, the new building’s tower points toward Polaris (the North Star) representing the unwavering moral compass and principles that anchor warrior ethos and the American Airman. The spinning stars of the night sky suggest the dynamic nature of the world in which American Airmen must serve, navigate, and succeed.
