The Chief Master Sgt. Grace A. Peterson Airman Leadership School honored 31 graduating Airmen at a ceremony Dec. 4, 2024, in the Wright-Patt Club. 

The guest speaker and class mentor, Chief Master Sgt. Michael Sierra of Air Force Materiel Command, told the class, which included Airmen from the 88th Air Base Wing, Air Force Materiel Command headquarters, 910 Maintenance Group, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Squadron and other organizations, to always strive to be the leader they wanted to follow. 

“I hope you will care about those who you supervise much like the ones who cared for you, there is nothing more important than out front-line supervisors continuing to carry the standard” Sierra said. 

He also stressed that, as the Airmen advance and become supervisors, they will shape those working for them. 

“Lead with passion and care,” Sierra said. “This is the beginning of what more responsibility looks like, carry it with honor and respect.” 

The Airman Leadership Course is a requirement of Airmen selected for the rank of staff sergeant.
