The wing has had 01:16.206 --> 01:18.039 great support from many events , 01:18.039 --> 01:19.539 including spotlighting the 01:19.539 --> 01:21.706 contributions of our female airmen and 01:21.706 --> 01:24.060 our june 80 focus group activities as 01:24.060 --> 01:26.171 part of the Joint diversity Executive 01:26.171 --> 01:28.282 council .

Additionally , 02:28.894 --> 02:31.006 r one will be part of a pilot program 02:31.006 --> 02:33.720 to test a post Airman leadership school 02:33.720 --> 02:36.140 program called Prepping the Line .
