Summary: AFLOA Training Monitor

Additional Duties: AFLOA Training Monitor. One issue you are passionate about is training. Most of the tasks within AFLOA are very specific to that particular mission. You have asked leadership’s support in taking a stronger effort to implement MTLs and MTPs within each directorate and division. You noted this within JAJG and saw that the need was there AFLOA-wide.

Your people will learn from how you listened to and cared for them, and this will spread when those people use your experience when they help their people, no matter where they move on in the AF, long after they leave AFLOA. You are already good at reaching out to people, and influencing them, based on your PPS profile.
Informal Learning Activity: The Andrews Top 3 presents quarterly leadership seminars that I believe can help you grow. They are not formal, and they are not required for promotion but still beneficial to you. We also have monthly AFLOA lunch and learn classes that will also help you learn about other missions within
