This allows all Active-Duty, Guard and Reserve Airmen an opportunity to attend ALS, NCOA and SNCOA. We want to give you flexibility and allow you to decide when DL is right for you -- based off your mission tempo, your family life and how you need to balance your time.

Just as important, we want to ensure we're deliberately developing our Airmen in a way that makes sense. 00:00 Intro 00:28 Chief Introduces EPME21 01:24 Foundation of EPME21 02:19 Distance Learning equivalent course for Guard/Reserve Airmen 02:57 Amount of time between resident experiences 03:13 Chief recognizes learning activities outside of EPME classrooms 04:12 How Airmen are being developed 05:31 How Airmen will receive credit for PDUs 06:12 Requirements for PDUs 07:24 Immediate changes to EPME 09:20 Bottom line 09:42 Outro
