The Air Force's First Sergeant Academy (FSA) is increasing resident class length to four weeks to help fuel the chief of staff of the Air Force's initiative to revitalize squadrons. The updated curriculum, which began Oct. 22, focuses more on hands-on, scenario-based training to better prepare first sergeants for their role in the squadron command team. The FSA discontinued the distance learning course for first sergeants. Because of this, the FSA will now focus on enhancing invaluable skills such as alternate dispute resolution, resiliency, advanced counseling, and Uniform Code of Military Justice/Article 15 training as well as increased engagement with former commanders.
