 We wanted to get the story out there while we decided a change was necessary. We noticed a trend that our first sergeants lacked certain trainings and so we wanted to better prepare them and make sure they were ready as we sent them out into the field. Prior to the four week we had a distance learning course and first sergeants really weren't getting what they needed out of that course. So not only will they be going through all the lessons, but they will actually get hands on training. We've added eight additional hours of legal where they'll get, we'll cover ethics, along with our administrative procedures all the way from an LOC to separation. They will be working with other agencies like the Air War College and the Chief Leadership Course to actually have the opportunity to work together and see what it's like when they're out there. We wanted to make sure that our first sergeants had the information they needed to assist in our Chief of Staff's initiative of revitalizing the squad. The more repetitions we can give them here at the Academy to work through issues, the better off they'll be. Even after they're done training, they will be able to reach back to the Academy and we'll still be providing information just continuing the learning after they're gone, which is huge. That's not something that we were doing in the past. When it comes down to it, there's a history of what it takes and what it is to be a first sergeant and we're bringing a lot of that back to the First Army Academy.
