Goodfellow’s Newest ALS Graduates: Class 26-B Published Feb. 24, 2026 By Senior Airman Evelyn J. D'Errico 17th Training Wing Public Affairs GOODFELLOW AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- The 17th Training Wing celebrated Airman Leadership School Class 26-B’s graduation at the Powell Event Center, Goodfellow Air Force Base, Feb. 19. ALS is a five-week course designed to prepare senior airmen to assume supervisory responsibilities through instruction in leadership, followership, and communication skills. “You are about to navigate one of the most challenging and crucial moments of your career,” said Master Sgt. Christopher Walker, ALS commandant. “Transitioning from here to leader, a path that demands more than just knowing the regulations, it demands a fundamental shift of your mindset.” This milestone marks a significant time in an airman's career. They gain an understanding of their role as military supervisors and how they contribute to the overall goals and mission of the Air Force. “Leadership is not defined by the rank on your chest,” said Col. Matthew Norton, 17th TRW commander. “But by the influence you will wield, the trust you will build and the standards you will set.” Goodfellow’s Newest ALS Graduates: Class 26-B U.S. Air Force Senior Master Sgt.
