JY Wong 314th Training Squadron
Mission: Inspire, develop, and train Airmen as professional linguists and responsible service members.
Vision: Airmen who depart the unit inspired to serve and succeed in the Air Force.
Discovery
The Defense Language Institute (DLI), which includes my unit, the 314th Training Squadron, has an abundance of areas which address demographic, organizational, cognitive, and global diversity. Events are held on a monthly basis to promote Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) events.

Using Inspirational Motivation, I will create a vision of improved daily mission operations to leadership through building a better rapport among the flights with improved cooperation and communication. I will outline the change of incorporating teamwork workouts/activities that I would make to flight PT time in the Monday staff meeting, and get it approved by the chain of command that day, with the goal of implementing the change on Thursday of the next week, which will set the change. Along with the other flight chiefs, we establish the expectations for all the flights as soon as the change is approved. Reward those that are encouraging the change during the next week’s flight PT session, and reinforce the change with those that are lagging, which will start the process of refreezing. This would be accompanied by a change in the organization of additional duties incorporating primary and alternates for additional duties among the different flights. Follow-up would be essential, and would be completed in 4 weeks after the change is made. The changes made will help daily accountability for students, increase communication between flights, which will foster a better and quicker identification of troubled students to provide a more professional learning
