Airmen form as a flight during the reviele ceremony during the 40th anniversary of the Air Force Senior NCO Academy. As part of the Thomas N. Barnes Center for Enlisted Education, SNCOA is the gateway to the top of the enlisted ranks. Prior to being promoted to E-8, Airmen must complete this course, or a sister service equivalent.
