I plan to work with the Enlisted Board of Directors (CMSAF and MAJCOM Command Chiefs) to add Airman dormitory leaders to the DSD process. Doing so will ease the se- lection process at the base level and open the aperture for Airmen across every AF career field to experience the rewards of leading our unaccompanied Airmen transitioning out of the training pipeline into the opera- tional AF. It is going to be another great year, and I look forward to each challenge. Chief Master Sgt. John A.
