WASHINGTON --  A new television production featuring the chief master sergeant of the Air Force is providing an information venue for key Air Force issues to Airmen worldwide.

The one-minute segments, called "Chief's View," air globally on American Forces Radio and Television Service, the Pentagon Channel and are available through streaming video online at www.af.mil.

"We are excited to have another means to get messages out to Airmen throughout our Air Force," said Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force Gerald R. Murray. "Communicating with our Airmen is one of the key responsibilities of the office of chief master sergeant of the Air Force."

As operations tempo remains high, information flow is especially vital, he said.

"Whether deployed or at home station, our Airmen are working at a feverish pace,” Chief Murray said. “It’s important they understand what’s going on within our force. In the ‘Chief's View,’ I'll give it to them straight, and we'll tackle very basic and even contentious issues. I want these messages to encourage communication within the chain of command and with peers."

A new segment of “Chief’s View” will run every two weeks with messages ranging from timely issues to basic Air Force fundamentals.

This will be an important medium to let Airmen hear what their leaders are doing to address key issues facing today's Air Force, Chief Murray said.

"We have great programming on our AFN and Pentagon channels, and I hope we can add to that,” he said. “I encourage everyone to check out these stations and watch for the ‘Chief’s View.’”
