    Story by Senior Airman Adrian Salazar 

    72nd Air Base Wing

    Thirty one Airmen graduated from the Tinker Airman Leadership School during a graduation ceremony held at the Tinker Air Force Base Event Center, Nov 14, 2024.


    ALS is a six-week professional development course designed to prepare new staff sergeants and senior airmen for supervisory duties and is required before taking on the role of a frontline supervisor. Topics covered include leadership, followership, communication skills and the profession of arms.


    The school is the first of three in-residence courses required for enlisted Airmen and a requirement for promotion to staff sergeant. The other in-residence courses are the Noncommissioned Officer Academy and the Senior Noncommissioned Officer Academy, which are prerequisites for promotion to master sergeant and senior master sergeant, respectively.
