Professional Airman's Development Guide (PADG)

What is it about?

The importance of the Air Force's mission and inherent responsibility to the Nation requires its members to adhere to higher standards than those expected in civilian life. As Airmen, we are proud of our high standards. Through self-discipline, we adhere to them, and we hold our fellow Airmen accountable to follow our standards. This publication establishes broad expectations of Airmen prior to, during, and after BMT.
