SAN ANTONIO (AFPN) --  In his latest "Enlisted Perspective," the Air Force's top enlisted Airman discusses how maintaining the Air Force core values will ensure continued success in today's turbulent times.

"Each and every job is critical and Airmen must remain focused on the job at hand. We must give every task our most careful attention to detail," said Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force Rodney J. McKinley.

"It's imperative for every Airman to perform their duties to our high Air Force standards and continue to concentrate on safety," he said. "Whenever we walk into our workplace, whether in a hangar at home station or an observation tower overlooking a forward operating post in Iraq or Afghanistan, we simply must do our best."

Chief McKinley asked other senior enlisted leaders to "ensure all levels of leadership emphasize excellence in everything we do; every assignment, every job, every task.

"We also must continue to ensure our appearance, behavior, bearing, customs and courtesies, and military standards are never questioned," he said.

This "Enlisted Perspective" and other senior leader viewpoints can be found on the library section of Air Force Link.
