Lights, camera, action : getting back to the basics

"SMSgt Leslie Bramlett offers a call to the USAF enlisted corps to return to the basics of leadership, traditions, and discipline that are taught in basic military training (BMT). He delineates how the Air Force's senior corps of noncommissioned officers recognizes discipline problems among the enlisted Airmen which have caused degradation in mission support and adherence to standards. SMSgt Bramlett identifies how failure to maintain the attitudes and behaviors learned in BMT have contributed to these problems. He argues that Airmen leave basic training and then enter the "real" Air Force and find a culture which does not reinforce the lessons taught in BMT. In this exposition, the author constructs a case for reinvigorating these lessons to help remedy this situation."--AU Press web site Front Cover ......Page 1 Credits ......Page 2 Dedication......Page 3 Foreword......Page 4 About the Author......Page 5 Getting Back to the Basics......Page 6 Where Are We?......Page 8 How Did We Get Here?......Page 9 Unintended Impact of Technology and Change......Page 11 Influence of Force Shaping and Outsourcing......Page 12 Civilian Management Styles and Corporate Strategies......Page 14 Where Do We Go?......Page 17 Leading and Developing Airmen......Page 21 Tradition......Page 22 Discipline......Page 23 Notes......Page 26 Inside Cover......Page 31
