, greater responsibilities as they are promoted. Members of the profession certify and
credential individual professionals at appropriate levels of competence. The levels of
certification and experience
often reflect progression within the profession. This combination of professional
development and experience in making decisions within general guidelines rather than
rigid rules develops flexible and self-aware leaders.
Body of Theory/Specialized Knowledge - ✔✔This charteristic is more than simply
having the technical training and skill to do a given job. Professional competence is
critical to a profession because the service provided by professions could have
beneficial or devastating effects on the population it serves.
The Dimensions of POA - ✔✔physical, intellectual, and moral.
The foundation of Professional Military Education - ✔✔The physical, intellectual, and
moral dimensions form the foundation of the POA and are the basis of professional
military education and leader development
Physical dimension of the POA - ✔✔The POA is physical because warfare is a physical
'business". The Air Force helps to ensure our service is ready to operate in demanding
situations via The Air Force Fitness Program. The program's goal is to motivate Airmen
to participate in a year-round physical conditioning program that emphasizes total
fitness (aerobic conditioning, strength and flexibility training) and healthy eating.
