For the first time, members of the Philippine Air Force have been attending Airman Leadership School at Hickam AFB, Hawaii. It’s part of a training process to enable the PAF to create its own formal leadership program. Four instructor/students and the command sergeant majors of the PAF are currently attending an ALS class, with five additional students planned for the future. The new instructors will then write up a curriculum and establish a Philippine airman leadership school in Fiscal 2007. “ALS is helping us develop more and starting innovations that can be adjusted to our system,” said PAF Command Sgt. Maj. Cesar Soloria.
