First civilians graduate from Dyess ALS
Col. Seth Spanier, 7th Bomb Wing commander, and Chief Master Sgt. Steven Edmonds, 7th Operations Group senior enlisted leader, pose for a photo with Melanie Conant, 7th Maintenance Group secretary, at the Dyess Airman Leadership School graduation inside the Hangar Center on Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, Aug. 3, 2023. Conant was one of two personnel to be the first civilians to graduate from the Dyess ALS. The 24-day program teaches junior enlisted personnel who are preparing to become supervisors how to communicate effectively and work as a team to create a disciplined, lethal and ready force.
