The topic I chose for my assignment is something I feel I can write about a bit more easily. I chose to write about why the Air Force isn't retaining as many airmen as they used to. It's been a problem I have observed for a while with me being in for eight years. Higher ups are frustrated that most service members are making the decision to get out of the military before twenty years and it's starting to affect the personnel numbers. I have listened to some of those people that made the decision to get out earlier and I think there is a loss of that communication between the personnel and higher ups. The higher ups are complaining about the lack of retention, and the airmen choosing to get out are explaining that they're not getting enough incentives to stay in for the full 20 years. There are multiple decision makers I can address this to, but Air Force is heavy on the "chain of command". The next best decision maker I can address it to would be a squadron commander, and then hypothetically it would "go up the chain". I am going to research the topic by providing some articles regarding this subject, as well as adding some knowledge I have attained on this subject in real life.
