(upbeat music)

00:02.360 --> 00:05.008
- The requirements of what
we're looking for in a leader,

00:05.008 --> 00:06.560
those things are changing.

00:06.560 --> 00:08.440
In professional military education,

00:08.440 --> 00:11.810
we have to grow and
anticipate those changes.

00:11.810 --> 00:12.930
The change in the curriculum

00:12.930 --> 00:16.530
has put a focus on critical thinking

00:16.530 --> 00:20.150
and making sure that we
are developing airmen

00:20.150 --> 00:22.309
that can actually think on their own.

00:22.309 --> 00:24.930
We have issues and problems,

00:24.930 --> 00:27.250
and we want them to come
up with creative ways

00:27.250 --> 00:29.350
to solve those problems on their own.

00:29.350 --> 00:31.510
Airmen who are coming through
Airman Leadership School,

00:31.510 --> 00:33.711
they definitely have
that hunger to be leaders

00:33.711 --> 00:35.397
and just asking the question,

00:35.397 --> 00:38.090
"What do I need to do
to become excellent?"

00:38.090 --> 00:41.367
or "How do I strive to
instill that core value

00:41.367 --> 00:43.707
"in every single thing that I do?"

00:43.707 --> 00:45.746
