ALS graduates new class of Airmen Published June 30, 2010 By John Stuart Tinker Public Affairs TINKER AIR FORCE BASE, Okla. -- Another class of upcoming leaders has "crossed over the threshold of excellence" at Tinker. June 24 was the day that 46 Tinker Airmen of class 10-F completed the 21-day Airmen Leadership School, furthering their careers and moving a step closer to becoming outstanding future NCOs of the Air Force. Students are taught to find their own style of leadership throughout the course and are encouraged to pick a career field that inspires them so they naturally want to lead others with similar interests, said Master Sgt. Jim Peters, commandant of Tinker's ALS. "I think everybody has the capability of being a leader," Sergeant Peters said. "It doesn't matter what you're good at. But if you never find what you're good at you're never going to be a leader. "Being a good leader is also about being a good follower," Sergeant Peters explained. "And it's also communication, saying 'I don't have what it takes to do that but I will follow someone who does have it.'" While the ALS cadre have the noble task of teaching the leaders of tomorrow, they also mentor Airmen toward more fitting career fields within the Air Force as needed. If the athletic prowess of Class 10-F is any indication of greatness then they'll likely be on their way toward significant accomplishments. The ALS students -- the All Stars -- bested the Chiefs in a volleyball match during the course, a significant accomplishment for the younger Airmen. 552nd Maintenance Squadron Senior Airman Scott Brown Senior Airman Joseph Bryfczynski Senior Airman Alhajj Jalloh Senior Airman Lucas Langendoerfer Senior Airman Gregory Nelson Senior Airman Stoney Osborne Senior Airman Kyle Parrish Senior Airman Joshua Phillips Senior Airman Nicholas Ponce Senior Airman Ronald Smith Senior Airman Jason Sparks Senior Airman Gabriel Vavra Senior Airman Robert Willson 552nd Airborne Air Control Squadron Senior Airman Justin Foster Senior Airman Shawn White 960th Airborne Air Control Squadron Senior Airman Gatlin Johnson Senior Airman William Ross 963rd Airborne Air Control Squadron Senior Airman Edward Lopez Senior Airman David Segerson 964th Airborne Air Control Squadron Staff Sgt.
