Today I'd like to talk to you about an important topic to our Chief of Staff of the Air Force, Gen. T. Michael Moseley - and that's discipline.

In our 60 years as a service, the Air Force's record for mission success has been forged by strong leadership and airmen who are properly organized, trained and equipped to execute their mission.

Whether deployed, at home station training for the next deployment, or conducting daily tasks, the expectations for all Airmen are the same. Commanders command, supervisors lead, and, from the most junior Airman to the highest levels of command, we all follow checklist procedures, comply with applicable directives, and focus on our missions.

Commanders and supervisors at all levels must lead by personal example and reinforce the highest of standards. Integrity, service, and excellence are the foundation of our Air Force, and discipline is at the core of all three.

I encourage all of you to maintain awareness on the Chief of Staff of the Air Force's priorities by logging on to the Air Force Portal today. Thank you for all you do.
