Kistner promoted to sergeant

Air Force Senior Airman Bradley A. Kistner has graduated from Airman Leadership School at Langley Air Force Base, Hampton, Va., and has been selected for promotion to the rank of staff sergeant.

During the five-week course, airmen are trained to understand their positions in the Air Force organizational structure, leadership and communications skills, all of which are needed for professional development to be effective noncommissioned officers.
