The Air Force is encouraging units to recognize the achievements of enlisted airmen as they become noncommissioned officers.
Flosi was the “clear choice” among the Air Force’s “most highly respected” enlisted leaders, the service said.
“It may be that we completely break the [Air Force Specialty Code] structure," said Lt. Gen. Caroline Miller, the service's personnel chief.
The active duty Air Force made it about 90% of the way to its goal of 26,877 enlisted recruits.
