Airman Blueprint

Joining the Air Force is a great decision. But, how do decide if it is right for you? And once you have joined, how do you manage your career? Let me guide you through my experiences and share what I learned from them. After reading, you will have a better understanding of Air Force life and what it takes to make your career soar.

Over my twenty-plus-year Air Force career-rising from a young airman turning wrenches to an officer flying multimillion-dollar aircraft-I have seen and done a multitude of things. I truly believe my stories of both woe and success will help better equip you on your journey into and through the USAF.

By the end of this book, you will be confident, excited, ahead of your peers, and ready to excel in today's Air Force. So, get reading! The start is always the hardest, but with a little knowledge and the right direction, you are destined for greatness.

"Finally one place that you can get information that will be important in your career that is often "forgotten" about by leadership. G's lessons learned let you know we are not perfect and make mistakes, but it's how you overcome those problems to succeed."

"The Airman Blueprint is a must-read book for anyone even remotely contemplating serving in the United States Air Force. First, I know of no other book like it that addresses this unique niche. Second, even if there were hundreds, this book would certainly be at the top of the list. Major Golembiewski (ret) has masterfully distilled his years of experience into gem after gem of spot-on practical advice and thoughtful insights - all executed with engaging and entertaining wit. I truly wish that this book existed 15 years ago!"
