Answering the Call to the Future
Roll Call! Evolution is inevitable, so we must deliberately move
forward. Technology continues to open doors and present
opportunities to step beyond the well-trodden paths of the past.
As we Shape Our Future Air Force, we must capitalize on these
opportunities to move to the next level - a level that meets the
needs of today, but is agile enough to respond to the needs of
tomorrow. This is especially true in the education arena.
The science of education is changing before our eyes.
Information technology is producing new delivery methods that
tailor the pace of study to the students’ strengths and
weaknesses, ensuring a more effective learning experience. The
blended learning approach - combining distance and in-
residence learning - takes advantage of these technologies to
deliver the highest quality education. It’s the approach we’re
already taking in our Senior NCO Academy, and will soon
implement in every NCO Academy.
The distance portion is about the information. Students can take
up to a year, moving at their own pace, to learn theories and
concepts that expand their understanding of the institutional
competencies we need to Win the Fight. The competencies are
at the root of the critical thinkers, adaptable leaders and
influential innovators we need to lead the world’s greatest Air
Force.
The in-residence portion goes beyond the books and the tests. It
builds on the roots planted in the distance component by
combining scenarios, exercises and interaction with fellow
Airmen. There is dialogue, leadership reflection and
opportunities to seek and receive feedback - everything students
need to become more self-aware, deliberate and influential
leaders ready and able to Strengthen the Team.

The World’s Greatest Air Force
Powered by Airmen...Fueled by Innovation
Airman’s Roll Call is designed for supervisors at all levels to
help keep Airmen informed on current issues, clear up
confusion, dispel rumors, and provide additional face-to-face
communication between supervisors and their teams.
Key Air Force Message Briefing
Overview: Students develop a 5-7 minute briefing based on a
Key Air Force Message (i.e. Force Management, PME
Transformation, Changes to Enlisted Performance Reports, DoD
SAPR Prevention Strategy 2014-2016, Rand Study on workplace
relations, CSAF Messages, CMSAF Messages, etc.).
Purpose: NCOs must be prepared to brief Key Air Force
Messages to subordinates and other key audiences. To do this
successfully, NCOs must be able to conduct research about key
messages, and then prepare briefings that capture the essence of
the messages. This assignment gives you the opportunity to

5. demonstrate/hone/improve your research, writing, and speaking
skills.
Assessment: Instructors assess this briefing on the Go/No-Go
grading system, using the categories/weighted scale prescribed
in SC01EI1, the Briefing Evaluation Instrument (see attachment
5). To pass this project, briefings must receive a Go on 17 or
more of the 25 items on the evaluation instrument. As such,
briefings delivered in less than the minimum allotted time (3
minutes), and/or not obtaining the minimum required number of
“Go” ratings (17) within the grading termination time (5
minutes) will result in an automatic NO-GO. This is a
summative assignment and counts towards graduation.
Note: Students who fail to achieve an overall GO rating for this
assignment must re-fire the briefing and they become ineligible
for awards.
Specific Requirements:
This briefing is informational in nature.
1. Students select a Key Air Force Message about one current
AF initiative (i.e. Force Management, PME Transformation,
Changes to Enlisted Performance Reports, DoD SAPR
Prevention Strategy 2014-2016, Rand Study on workplace
relations, CSAF Messages, CMSAF Messages, etc.).
Note: No two students may have the same topic unless
authorized by instructor.
2. A key-word outline is mandatory (for an example see
SC01HO9 and/or reference T&Q). Include identification Line in
the footer area of the key-word outline.
Note: You may use a copy of your outline, as a memory jogger.
NO manuscript reading, you must be prepared to deliver a
briefing with minimal memory aids and very little reading.
Limit reading to quotes and information that must be read to be
accurate. A key-word outline must be turned in to your
instructor prior to the briefing.
