BUCKLEY AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. --  A senior airman from the Air Reserve Personnel Center graduated from the Buckley Airman Leadership School Class 15-D May 7, 2015, at the Leadership Development Center here.

Senior Airman Patrick O’Connor, ARPC DD 214 service technician, who also won the Leadership Award, said being a part of the class taught him a lot about himself.

“It was an amazing feeling winning the leadership award in front of many great leaders,” O’Connor said. “I had a great group of people that I graduated with. I learned a lot about myself in class but I learned more about myself from the team.”

The Leadership Award is given to the Airman who displayed significant contributions to the overall success of the class and exemplified professional military qualities in leadership.

ALS is the first level of PME enlisted Airmen complete during the progression of their Air Force careers as leaders and managers. The curriculum during the five-week-long course included teaching senior airmen military professionalism, leadership skills, supervisory skills and effective means of communication.
