Page v Preface This fourth edition of Airman'sGuide includes a wide range of information about current policies and procedures that relate to pursuing a successful career in the U.S. Air Force. It has been prepared for new airmen, airmen-to-be, career airmen, and family membersall of whom will find it a convenient way to stay abreast of regulation changes and other matters. Airman'sGuide was written with two primary purposes in mind: to serve as a convenient personal reference, since most airmen don't have access to a "five-foot shelf' of all the pertinent directives and information that directly affect their careers and their families; and to present in one volume some of the most frequently talked about programs and to discuss them in everyday terms. The guide also includes sources of further information. Airman'sGuide could not have been written without the strong support and input of many interested people, including noncommissioned and commissioned officers (both active-duty and retired), spouses and family members, civil service personnel, public affairs representatives, employees of Air Force-related private associations, and many others. All of them have given generously of their time and their thoughts to help ensure that the book is timely and that it represents current policies and guidance.
