JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C. –
In order to have a successful career, all one needs to do is to follow the guidelines in Air Force Instruction 36-2618. We all have a copy in our pockets or binders and expect our Airmen to carry one, but when was the last time a topic was discussed at role call or guardmount? I encourage each of us to actively discuss the topic pertaining to duty positions, ask our subordinates to explain in their own words what it means to them and then explain how that topic will affect the outcome of the Air Force mission.
It is almost cliché to tell people to refer to the "The Little Brown Book," but carrying it around and actually understanding the content are two completely different things. The key to success is all in the pages of AFI 36-2618, all you have to do is read, comprehend and implement the items discussed to ensure a successful career.
