Empowered Airmen

We live in a world that is driven by rapidly changing technology and an environment that includes aggressive and capable global competitors. Airmen are key to cutting unnecessary bureaucracy, recognizing and understanding our competition, and thinking of creative ways we can reshape the design of our Air Force. The Air Force must accelerate, must change, and must prepare for the future!

This page is dedicated towards highlighting the accomplishments of our talented Airmen at all levels and to show the impact they can make when they are informed and empowered to problem solve and make smart recommendations and decisions.

EMCS Larry Strickland (Ret.), speaks about his time as a prisoner of war for 11 months after being captured by the Korean People's Navy of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on Jan. 23, 1968. Strickland served as a fireman on board USS Pueblo (AGER-2) when it came under attack while operating in international waters in the Sea of Japan. One Sailor was killed and 82 servicemembers were captured during the incident. The capture resulted in a major Cold War-era incident and USS Pueblo is the only remaining captured ship still in commission by the US Navy. USS Pueblo is currently in Pyongyang Harbor and is being used as a museum ship by North Korea.
