TSgt Shelby listens as the NCOA instructor says, "The course is rigorous so you’ll want to manage your time wisely because your achievements depend entirely on the effort you put forth. Invest time in reviewing lesson objectives and samples of behavior because they help you prepare for in class sessions as well as exams. Although we use various teaching methods to appeal to all learning styles, most students find it takes effective study habits, critical thinking, and effective use of EPME’s structured thinking process to make it through the course." The comments BEST explain ________ concepts and how they contribute to individual success. a. time management b. successful learning c. teaching methods and effective study habits |
B. Successful Learning Question 1 assesses the lowest level of comprehension as evidenced by the word "explain" in the question. Because these types of questions are slightly above the knowledge level (memorization), exact words, synonyms, or both are used to "explain" the concept. If you know terms and definitions associated with major concepts well enough, then its exact words or synonyms, the concept should jump off the page for you. Remember, pay close attention to terminal samples of behavior. |
|

The day before graduating, TSgt Shelby is showing her dad, a military retiree, around the campus when he asks, "What was the hardest part of the course?" Shelby replies, "The schedule was hard at first because I was juggling reading, writing, and homework assignments plus marathon study sessions with my flight. I finally settled into a routine that helped me pay attention in class, take good notes, and actively participate in classroom discussions. However, I would have to say the hardest part for me was the public speaking. Thank goodness, my flight came together to practice all the time. TSgt Shelby’s comments BEST illustrate: a. time managements impact on an individual’s public speaking success b. how study and practice habits can impact an individual’s time management c. steps of the learning process and how they contribute to individual success |
C. Steps of the learning process and how they contribute to individual success Question 2 assesses the second level of comprehension as evidenced by the word "illustrate" in the question. These questions are harder because they usually involve a scenario that does not directly describe the concept but offers an example of the concept in use. Therefore, just knowing terms and definitions is not enough. You must know the all of key elements of a concept well enough to identify it and to know whether its use is appropriate/inappropriate or effective/ineffective. These questions typically include the impact or result in the scenario, but sometimes the impact is implied. |
|
|
On graduation day, during a discussion with a fellow instructor concerning student performance, TSgt Bright says, "TSgt Shelby worked hard, completed all assignments, always participated in class, and did a great job with her speaking assignments. She took good notes, which she generously shared the flight and she organized several study sessions which probably helped her and her peers score well on the final exam." The other instructor says, "It sounds like you may have more than one distinguished graduate on your hands." TSgt Shelby’s use of ____________ will MOST LIKELY earn her _______________. a. successful learning; a graduation diploma b. study habits and class participation; an academic achievement award c. time management and study habits; a distinguished graduate certificate |
A. Successful learning; a graduation diploma Question 3 assesses the highest level of comprehension as evidenced by the phrases such as "MOST LIKELY" or "Probably result in," and so forth. These questions not only require you to know the all of key elements of a concept well enough to identify it and to know whether its use is appropriate/inappropriate or effective/ineffective, you must be able to predict the outcome of the actions, decisions, or behaviors described in the scenario. |

SMSgt Brock, the security forces superintendent, calls SSgt Downy into her office and says, "I noticed you and your fire team "ranger rolling" your hats." Smiling, Downy replies, "Ma’am, I believe it creates a more aggressive look; besides, the ladies really like them." Brock says, "You may not be aware, or even care, Sergeant Downy, but ranger rolling your hat is not authorized." Standing up she adds, "I know you dislike the rule and it is your nature to take risks, but the ranger rolls end today. Are we clear?" Reluctantly, Downy replies, "Yes, ma’am!" The next day Brock notices Downy and his team wearing their hats appropriately. SMSgt Brock’s actions BEST illustrate her understanding of SSgt Downy’s ______ and its impact on NCO effectiveness. a. temperament b. blind-spot c. high level of maturity |
A. Temperament According to the Four Lenses chapter, understanding the different temperaments allows leaders to communicate better with their subordinates. Based on her understanding of temperaments, Brock recognizes SSgt Downy’s preferred temperament is orange as illustrated in the statements, "I believe it creates a more aggressive appearance and the ladies really like them" and "…I realize you do not care for all these rules and it is your nature to take risks …" she also does not allow him to use it as an excuse (or crutch) for unacceptable behavior. SMSgt brock understands that Downy’s behavior can have a negative impact on NCO effectiveness; therefore, her actions in correcting the issue will positively impact her effectiveness. |

MSgt Norton calls SSgt Pyle, one of his most motivated NCOs, into his office and announces, "I am going on emergency leave and have a few tasks for you while I’m gone." Pyle asks nervously, "Am I familiar with these tasks sir?" Norton replies, "Not at all, but they are career enhancing opportunities." She replies, "Great! I’ll go grab my planner and be right back." Norton replies, "We don’t have time for note-taking or to-do lists. Relax, I’ll explain everything you need to know on the way to the airport." Because MSgt Norton _____________, his actions will MOST likely ____________ SSgt Pyle’s effectiveness. a. understands SSgt Pyle’s blind spot; enhance b. misunderstands SSgt Pyle’s blind spot; hinder c. understands SSgt Pyle’s temperament; enhance d. misunderstands SSgt Pyle’s temperament; hinder |
D. Misunderstands SSgt Pyle's Temperament; Hinder According to the Four Lenses chapter, the Gold temperament is comfortable in familiar and structured environments. In this scenario, Pyle’s temperament is Gold as evidenced by her wanting to take notes, use a planner, and to-do lists. MSgt Norton misunderstands SSgt Pyle’s Gold temperament, as evidenced by 1) giving Pyle unfamiliar tasks, 2) discounting Pyle’s need to take note and use a planner, and 3) expecting Pyle to be successful based on a verbal explanation on the way to the airport. This will most likely hinder SSgt Pyle’s effectiveness. |

MSgt Miller says, "TSgt Stevenson, I know you have a strong work ethic and you tend to set aside your self-interests for the good of the group; however, how do you get your team to perform at such high levels so consistently?" Stevenson replies, "I always provide them with a clear direction and emphasize that what they are doing is important to the unit and the mission. I listen to their concerns and I seek and value their input." Miller says, "Now I know why they work so hard and always speak highly of you." This scenario BEST illustrates _______ and its impact on NCO effectiveness. a. Management by Exception – Active b. Transactional Leadership c. Transformational Leadership |
C. Transformational Leadership According to the Full Range Leadership Development chapter, the followers of transformational leaders exhibit greater trust, admiration, loyalty, and respect toward the leader and are willing to work harder for them.

MSgt Perry’s use of _________, will MOST likely ________ SSgt Huff’s effectiveness. a. Transformational Leadership; enhance b. Transformational Leadership; hinder c. Transactional Leadership; enhance d. Transactional Leadership; hinder |
C. Transactional Leadership; Enhance MSgt Perry used Transactional Leadership (with contingent rewards) which, according to the Full Range Leadership Development chapter, involves the constructive transaction between the leader and the follower. These transactions formulate a sort of "contract" where the leader sets goals, identifies ways for the subordinate to reach these goals, and supports the follower in meeting these expectations. The follower is required to perform assigned tasks to a specified performance level. When the follower fulfills the leader’s expectations, a reward is provided to reinforce the demonstrated positive behavior which will enhance his effectiveness. |

TSgt Wyatt’s team is extremely competent and works well together. He considers all of the friendly teasing and joke-telling signs of a healthy team. This morning, two team members approach him and explain how uncomfortable they are with most of the jokes. Wyatt responds, "If I take action now, it might disrupt our deployment preparations and interfere with our teamwork. Do you two want that?" Both Airmen say, "No sir!" Wyatt says, "Good. Just ignore the humor for now, and I’ll deal with it as soon as we return. TSgt Wyatt’s _______________ will MOST LIKELY _______________. a. failure to apply the FAIR Way™; have a negative impact on mission effectiveness b. diversity awareness; have a positive impact on his effectiveness c. social sensitivity; have a negative impact on mission effectiveness |
A. Failure to apply the FAIR Way; Have a negative impact on mission effectiveness This answer is CORRECT. According to the Diversity chapter, FAIR Way™ employs four techniques for maximizing retention and productivity and maintaining effective working relationship in workplaces. Telling crude jokes that attack the cultural background of anyone is unacceptable. TSgt Wyatt needs to reinforce the Air Force Zero Tolerance policy when it comes to diversity with some team members. Acting as a force for the acceptance of diversity and addressing the perceived diversity issues as quickly as possible should help the team continue to work well together. |

Upon entering the break room, the NCOIC MSgt Mitchell encounters two Airmen yelling at each other and says, "What's going on here?" A1C Abbas states, "When I told A1C Shula to help us clean up, he called me prayer-boy and refused to follow my orders. I told him you put me in charge, so he has to follow my orders. He called me the same name again and that’s when you walked in." Mitchell says, "Airman Shula, I put Airman Abbas in charge of the clean-up, therefore you will do as he says. No excuses. Do you understand me?" Snapping to attention, A1C Shula says, "Yes sir!" After Mitchell leaves, Shula says, "Alright prayer-boy, what do you want me to do?" This scenario BEST illustrates _______________ and its negative impact on ___________. a. a non diversity-supportive environment; mission effectiveness b. a diversity-supportive environment; mission effectiveness c. Affirmative Action; mission effectiveness |
a. a non diversity-supportive environment; mission effectiveness This answer is CORRECT. According to the Diversity chapter, Diversity-Supportive Organization embraces all aspects of diversity and exhibits the following characteristics: act proactively, leadership-driven, encourage ownership of initiatives, think inclusively, and mainstream diversity. MSgt Mitchell’s work center is not portraying those characteristics and it will negatively affect their mission effectiveness. |

SSgt Walker and his team are preparing for an inspection. While organizing the storage room, A1C Bates discovers equipment that should have been turned in months ago per the AFI. He reports the findings to Walker and suggests hiding the equipment until after the inspection. Walker responds, "That will quickly take care of the problem, but understand there are possible consequences for that decision." After considering the consequences, Bates decides to fill out the paper work to turn-in the equipment. On the inspection report, it was noted that equipment was turned in late; however, the work center identified it and corrected the discrepancy in a proper manner. This scenario BEST illustrates effective use of ___________________ and its impact on NCO, unit, and mission effectiveness. a. Dr. Toner’s legal test. b. the ethical principle of the Three R’s. c. the DOD Joint Staff Guide 5260 . |
B. the ethical principle of the Three R's This answer is CORRECT. According to the Ethical Leadership lesson principles, the Three R’s of ethical principles are rules, results, and realities. It explains that "rules" gives us the ethical guidance, "results" are the outcomes, the bottom line, and the consequences of not following those rules, and "realities" which recognize the importance of the situation or circumstances. The scenario depicts SSgt Walker thinking through those areas and coming to an ethical decision. |

SSgt Stanley, a well-respected NCO, conducted a review of the work center’s training records for the upcoming Operational Readiness Inspection. During his review, he identified several required tasks that weren’t signed off. Due to time constraints, he had his Airmen initial off on those tasks. He planned to go over the areas at another time. SSgt Stanley’s behavior of ____________________will MOST LIKELY __________ NCO, unit, and mission effectiveness. a. "drive for success"; reduce b. "worry over image"; reduce c. "ethical relativism"; increase |
A. "drive for success"; reduce This answer is CORRECT. According to the Ethical Leadership chapter, "drive for success" is one of four categories of ethical traps. It is making decisions based on a "win at all cost" attitude rather than on military rules, regulations, and codes of conduct. Stanley fell into that trap by "pencil-whipping" training records to pass the inspection, which could be detrimental to NCO, unit, and mission effectiveness. |

TSgt Skinner, Avionics MaintenanceNCOIC, has three Airmen about to deploy with the Army. During a conversation,Amn Soho asks, “We’ve never worked with the Army; what should we expect?”Skinner replies, “The command is composed of two or more military departmentsand has a broad continuing mission under a single commander. The commander hasthe operational control and has full authority to organize and employ theforces as necessary to accomplish assigned missions.” After Skinner answeredseveral more questions, Soho says, “Thank you, sir. I now feel better preparedfor the deployment.” This paragraph BEST summarizeshow knowledge of __________________ impact NCO effectiveness. a. Functional Component Commands b. Service Component Commands c. Combatant Commands |
C. Combatant commands This answer is CORRECT. According to the Joint Organization lesson,Combatant Commands are a command with a broad continuing mission under a singlecommander and composed of two or more Military Departments. The commander of acombatant command has the full authority to organize and employ commands andforces as necessary to accomplish assigned missions. It also shows how Skinner’s knowledge of Joint Organizations (CombatantCommands) impacts his effectiveness, asevidence by Soho’s final statement. |

MSgt Jenkins, NCOIC of a workcenter in the Technology and Interoperability Facility, is meeting with AmnSimpkins who has just in-processed to the unit. Jenkins feels that it isimportant to meet with each Airman to give them his expectations and ensurethey understand the mission they support. He begins by telling her, “Ourorganization oversees Air Force network operations that provide cyberspacecapabilities by managing a network of satellites. We are also responsible foroperating sensors that provide direct attack warning and assessment to USStrategic Command and North American Aerospace Defense Command. The NationalCommand Authority relies upon us to fulfill their mission.” This scenario BEST explainsthe importance of: a. Air Combat Command. b. Air Force Space Command. c. Air Force Global Strike Command. |
B. Air Force Space Command This answer is CORRECT. According to chapter principles, AFSPC isresponsible for organizing, training, and equipping mission ready space andcyberspace forces which MSgt Jenkins is part of as network operation manager.Jenkins and Simpkins is part of a command that has an important role inproviding space capabilities in support for combatant commanders throughout theworld. Without that support,missions all over the world will fail due to the Air Force’s reliance on cyberspace, space,weather, and intelligence reconnaissance. |

SrA Trip is a weapons loader on acrew that has been loading the B-2 Bomber. While loading the Rotary LauncherAssembly (RLA) that contains nuclear weapons, he notices one of the racks thatattach the bomb to the RLA was missing a bolt. From training, he remembered itas one of several bolts that holds the locking mechanism and could affect therack’s ability to hold the bomb in place. He wonders if this is something heshould report to the Team Chief. However, he continues his task and decides notto mention it figuring it has already been verified by both the breakout andtow crews, and was accepted by the crew chief. It was later discovered by QAand the RLA removed from service. This scenario BEST illustrates a violation ofthe ________________________ element of the nuclear surety concept and animpact to __________________________. a. reliability; nuclear deterrence. b. security; non-proliferation ofnuclear weapons. c. safety; nuclear employment. |
C. Safety; Nuclear employment This answer is CORRECT. According to the Nuclear Enterprise chapter,safety is one of three key elements of nuclear surety. It consists of programguidance, system evaluation, safety assurance, and for conduct of safe nuclearweapon system operations. Trip violated that by disregarding what he knew to bea safety issue and justified it by telling himself that others have verifiedthe system and it was cleared. This could result in a nuclear mishap anddegradation of nuclear employment. |

SSgt Field and A1C Thomas is onduty as the Monitoring Facility Operator for the Weapons Storage and SecuritySystem (WS3). Early one morning Thomas experienced several momentary alarmfailures. Each outage lasted for only a few seconds and communications to thesecurity system was regained. Field wondered if the alarm glitch was due to therecent inclement weather they had experienced. Since the system appeared toauto correct itself, Field decided to hold off reporting the incident to theMaintenance Operations Center immediately as required by the Air Base Instructions. Field’s inaction will MOSTLIKELY result in a compromise of nuclear weapons’ ____________________which will negatively impact mission effectiveness. a. reliability and positivemeasures. b. security and nuclear weapons security standards. c. security and the two-person concept. |
B. Security and nuclear weapons security standards This answer is CORRECT. According to the Nuclear Enterprise chapter, securityis the total spectrum of procedures, facilities, equipment, and personnelemployed to protect nuclear weapon. In this scenario, security of the nuclearweapons is compromised due to uncertainty of the alarm system integrity. Fieldshould have followed the Air Base Instruction and reported the incidentimmediately. Compromise of the nuclear weapons security is a serious matter andwill cause degradation of nuclear surety. |
