Function How To Section.  All chapters have programs they are sponsoring and/or running within their units and communities, such as Adopt-at-Highway programs, paint-a-thons, food drives, an angel tree, and sub-for-Santa programs.  How did the chapters get these programs started?  This new section of the Air National Guard Noncommissioned Academy Graduate Association (NCOAGA) web site has been created for chapters to share what programs they are sponsoring/running within their units and communities, to include procedures on how they initially setup and are currently running the program.  This information is provided for other chapters who would like to start a project within their unit and/or community, but don't really know where to start.  If your chapter would like to share with other chapters a program you are sponsoring and/or running, please forward your "how to" procedures to our Association President Ex-Officio for inclusion in this new section.

Airman's Creed.  The Air Force Chief of Staff, Gen T. Michael Moseley, introduced the new "Airman's Creed" 18 April 2007 to provide Airmen a tangible statement of beliefs that they can hold most dear.  The creed is meant to help invigorate the warrior ethos of today's Total Force.  Warrior ethos is the war fighting-focused culture, conviction, character, ethic, mindset, spirit and soul we all foster serving in today's Air Force.  The four paragraphs were created from an extensive, collaborative effort and feedback from Airmen throughout the force.  It was designed to resonate with Airmen past, present and future.  (Information compiled from AF News Service)
