TINKER AIR FORCE BASE, Okla. -- --

Thirty eight Airmen graduated from the Tinker Airman Leadership School during a graduation ceremony held at the Tinker Air Force Base Event Center, Feb 13, 2025.

ALS is a six-week professional development course designed to prepare new staff sergeants and senior airmen for supervisory duties and is required before taking on the role of a frontline supervisor. Topics covered include leadership, followership, communication skills and the profession of arms.

The school is the first of three in-residence courses required for enlisted Airmen and a requirement for promotion to staff sergeant. The other in-residence courses are the Noncommissioned Officer Academy and the Senior Noncommissioned Officer Academy, which are prerequisites for promotion to master sergeant and senior master sergeant, respectively.
