CCAF Degree Interview
9th Reconnaissance Wing
Oct. 30, 2024 | 11:29
Josie Adney, Beale Air Force Base Education Center deputy chief of education and training, explains what a Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) degree is and how an Airman can acquire their CCAF from Air University by starting with going to their base's education center. She discusses the benefits on acquiring a CCAF degree, either building up an Airman's Enlisted Performance Report/Board and creating promotional opportunities, or helping them in career ambitions after separation from the military. She also discusses how easy it is for Airman to acquire a degree, as Basic Military Training, Technical Training School, upgrade training, and Professional Military Training provide most of the needed education credits, while the last five needed courses could be completed for free through testing at the education center or through a college using tuition assistance (TA) from the Air Force. She explains how a CCAF, as an Associates degree, puts Airmen at already halfway towards a Bachelor's degree, giving the 60 of the 120 needed credits, while the remaining credits could be acquired for free using TA while in service, or for free using their GI Bill benefits after separation from the Air Force.

About Moody Bridge Chat

Bridge Chat's purpose is to create cohesive, high-performing teams that foster trust and connection through flexible and consistent small group discussions; in direct response to overwhelming feedback from the CSAF 21's Resilience Tactical Pause.

Caring for our Wingmen is what defines us as Airmen, so we must work to get to know our teammates and the challenges they face. We all have the same responsibility of creating the workplace we want and supporting the people we share our lives with.

Bridge Chat topics are posted here monthly to encourage small group discussions within teams. Beginning the process of recurring discussions can be difficult, but will become easier with time and reinforce the Flying Tiger culture.

To help us initiate and facilitate these discussions, we have included a guide that defines roles and ground rules.

The Flying Tiger Bridge Chat Facilitator provides facilitator trainings for base personnel. Their goal is to create squadron facilitators who take action on ACC's goal of equipping, engaging and empowering Airmen with resilience tools and create high-performing teams who look out for each other. To schedule training, contact 229-257-3211.
