Professional Development Center

385-2367

The Professional Development Center (PDC) provides continuous reinforcement, “booster shots” of professional growth and development through 3-5 day Professional Enhancement courses designed to bridge the time gap between the three levels of Enlisted Professional Military Education.

First Term Airman Center (FTAC)

The FTAC provides a structured program to transition Airmen from a training mindset to a mission-oriented environment. FTAC provides orientation type information and reinforces lessons learned in BMTS and technical training to aid in successful transition. This provides a unique opportunity to create an environment for Airmen to further develop their warrior ethos and continued expeditionary mindset. All FTA must attend an FTAC.
