Yes, your AI is what decides whether you are part of the problem or part of the solution. Only you can change your AI to become whatever you want to be. Where does your AI show? How can you determine what it is? Let's try a few simple tests. Have you ever heard someone say: by Col. Herbert B. Scherbinslce Commander, 388th Logistics Group What is your AI? Or, before we get into that, just what is an AI? Your AI is what determines what kind of day your're going to have, even before you get out of bed. It's what causes you to be productive (or nonproductive) at what ever it is you're doing. It's what makes the people around you glad you are here (or wish you'd have stayed in bed). It can make the job smooth and easy, or the hardest, longest thing you've ever attempted. In short, it can make your life worth living or the pits. And the amazing thing about this AI stuff is that it's cheap to get, easy to hang on to once you've got it, and highly contagious. I once heard an old colonel tell a person with a bad AI that there are only two types of people: "You are either part of the problem or part of the solution. " Now, think about that for a minute. Which category do you fall into? Or the ultimate test: Which one would the people around you (f once heard an old colonel tell a person with a 1 bad AI that there are only two types of people: Tot are either part of the problem or part of the solution' ... Which category . ' prim "That's good enough for government work?" Did the statement make you just a little mad? Did it lower your opinion of the person who said it? If so, then you are on your way to a good AI. If you thought the statement was true, or worse yet, if you said it yourself, your AI is pretty bad and do you fall into? in need of immediate repair. Col Herbert Scherbinske Have you ever heard someone say (or act like): "We'll just take it Commander, 388th Logistics Group other or shift and the next let easy office do it?" Again, how did it do. Bull! You decide what it will make you feel? If you didn't like it, something then can make your you're on your way to a good AI. If whole life worthwhile or make you be, you control it. You cannot blame anyone else for your AI. On wish you'd never been born. It's you thought it was a good idea, or a scale of 1 to 10, where are you? easy to get and spreads rapidly. again worst case, if it was your What is it? It's your Attitude Index.

It is: to use all available means to prevent, detect and correct instances of fraud, waste and abuse; to discipline perpetrators involved in FWA activities, and; to recoup, if possible, losses of cash, property, and services resulting from FWA. Preventing fraud, waste and abuse is the primary focus of the Air Force FWA program. Detection and prosecution serve as necessary deterrents to fraudulent, wasteful or abusive practices. Air Force Regulation 123-Air Force Fraud, Waste and Abuse Prevention, Detection and Remedies, outlines the program and defines 2, Misuse of rank, postition, or authority which results in the loss or misuse of resources such as tools, vehicles, computers, and copy machines.
