While the Sword Look and Sword Bearer programs are aimed at retaining airmen who are at a critical decisionmaking point in their careers, the ACC Squadron Commanders' and Spouses Course helps train leaders who can also influence airmen's decisions to stay in the Air Force. Held at Langley AFB, the course helps newly selected squadron commanders enhance their leadership skills. course This seven-da- y trains 300 commanders a year, arming them with the tools they need to effectively lead their squadrons.

The best w ay to meet the everyone, w hether those affected are children, the elderly, animals, the terminally ill, students in need of financial assistance or the homeless. Everything from Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts to the American Cancer Society is covered. Every year a collection goal is set for the CFC. The 388 FW monetary goal for this year is to raise $70,000 to support the Hill Air Force Base goal of $1 million. This goal was calculated from last year's donations. The 388th has always had great success with meeting and exceeding the monetary goals set for them in support of the CFC. There are more people in the wing than there were last year, and if the same percentage of people who donated last year give again this year, we'll raise more than last year's $65,000. It was decided to make the monetary goal $70,000, and I knew if only 25 percent of the wing donated to the CFC (the Hill AFB goal is 42.5 percent) we would smash $70,000. Currently, only 15 percent of the wing has donated (as of Nov. 20), but we will continue to campaign for about three more weeks, so there is still ample opportunity to contribute. Even donating a mere dollar a month builds up and can help out a charity of the donor's choosing. Someone reading this who is unfamiliar with the CFC may ask, "How can I help by being a part contact goal is through This is done through squadron representatives who, in turn, communicate to flightsection representatives, w ho then contact the members of the respective flights. Even better than that is the spreading of the whether it be campaign from person to person from friends, coworkers or supervisors within each squadron. When an individual hears that the men and women around them are committed to helping those less fortunate, then they are compelled to do the same. Donors have the opportunity to designate exactly which charity their money is directed to. Every single airman knows someone who could benefit from at least one of the covered charities, whether it is a friend, loved one or neighbor. Many charities collect money and the donors have no idea where their donations are going. With the CFC, donors know exactly where their contributions go, because they make that decision. Hopefully, this information will help spread the word that the CFC is a very valuable campaign that can benefit a great many people. If you have any questions about the CFC or would like to contribute, contact your squadron representative.

General Hornburg hopes these courses will make a difference in retaining officers and enlisted members who demonstrate the potential to become future Air Force leaders. "If we expect to retain our people, we have to show them how valuable they are to the command and to the Air Force. We must nurture and develop our next generation of leaders, both officers and enlisted. These courses help us do that, because retaining our quality people is essential to the success of ACC and the Air Force," General Hornburg yY ? ti functional-are- s' ?&3 2A nUs rJk ?2& SK CSS a managers so to call for know who they help," she said.
