When we join the Air Force, we become part of a unique culture. The foundation of this "Culture of Airmen" is our core values -- integrity first, service before self, and excellence in all we do. This culture and these core values compel Airmen to take care of Airmen. We accomplish our mission as a dedicated team of Airmen committed to our core values and to each other.
A "Resiliency Day" is being planned for all Air Force units to examine how we can collectively enhance this culture at every level. Large and small groups will be used to share information and solicit ideas with the goal of enhancing our ability to take care of each other. Direct and honest dialogue between Airmen and their supervisors is a critical part of this day. We will seek ideas from our most junior Airmen, who are on the front lines day in and day out, and who often face the greatest stressors.
Finally, "Resiliency Day" will include an opportunity for Airmen to join with each other in activities all can enjoy and that will embrace the esprit-de-corps that has produced the world's most respected Air and Space Force.
