Texts / Reading Assignments:<br />
As readings provide a framework and background for class discussion, I strongly recommend you read<br />
the assigned selections before the relevant lecture. AFROTC provides all required texts for this course<br />
via electronic means on the www.olmcenter.com website. Air Force cadets will need a unique<br />
alphanumeric “token” provided by the cadre and either a Google or Yahoo account to register with the<br />
website. I will provide academic only students the electronic texts via alternate means as required. If you<br />
had a log in last year, you will still need to re-register to gain the proper access level required for this<br />
class. The texts include the following:<br />
AS 300 Student Guide, Leadership Studies (LS), 2013-2014<br />
AFH 33-337, The Tongue and Quill (T&Q), 2004 with 2012 supplement<br />
AFOCD, Air Force Officer Classification Directory (AFOCD), 2013<br />
AFO, The Armed Forces Officer (AFO), 2006<br />
AFDD 1-1, Leadership and Force Development (AFDD 1-1), 2011<br />
HCTM, T-700, Holm Center Training Manual (HCTM), 1994<br />
AU-24, Concepts for Air Force Leadership (AU-24), 2008<br />
Classroom Rules of Engagement:<br />
1. Attendance:<br />
a. Air Force cadets must attend 80% of class sessions to receive credit for this course. As in the<br />
operational Air Force, simply meeting minimum standards is typically unacceptable. I ask that<br />
you attend every class unless a legitimate conflict arises. In order to arrange alternate course<br />
work, please coordinate with me as early as possible if you expect to miss a class due to<br />
scheduling conflicts, religious observances, etc. If you are late to class, you will receive half an<br />
absence.<br />
b. Academic-only and special students have no minimum attendance requirements (in accordance<br />
with university guidelines); however, excessive absences will negatively affect class participation<br />
grades.<br />
c. UW-Whitewater and MBBC Air Force cadets can virtually attend one of the two class sessions<br />
per week via video conferencing technology to minimize travel. Cadets planning to use this<br />
option must coordinate with the instructor on which day they plan to use video conferencing. The<br />
instructor will consider exceptions to this rule in cases of inclement weather.<br />
2. Uniform wear and dress code: All students are expected to present a professional image in the<br />
classroom. On Tuesdays, Air Force cadets will wear the uniform prescribed in the Leadership Laboratory<br />
operations order. Uniforms are optional on Thursdays unless you are presenting a formal briefing. Air<br />
Force cadets will wear the Service Dress uniform if presenting a formal briefing to the class. Academic<br />
only cadets are expected to wear business casual attire when presenting a briefing to the class.<br />
3. Class room protocol: All students are expected to treat each other, the instructor and guest speakers<br />
with the dignity and respect. Air Force cadets will observe military customs and courtesies at all times.<br />
Call the room to attention when the instructor (or a military officer senior to the instructor) enters or<br />
leaves the room.<br />
4. Food and drink: Feel free to bring either or both. Please refrain from eating and drinking during any<br />
presentations by fellow classmates. I also expect everyone to be responsible and clean up after him or<br />
herself.
