It is essential that airmen develop supervisory and leadership skills through professional military experience (PME) and individual study. The rank of senior airman is a transition period from journeyman to non-commissioned officer (NCO). An airman, while still primarily an apprentice, is expected to understand and conform to military standards. The only requirement for advancement is six months' time in grade (TIG) and time in service (TIS). Under normal conditions, promotions to E-2 are automatic as long as the Air Force's standards for performance and behavior are met. An airman basic is an apprentice who is acquiring and demonstrating knowledge of military customs, courtesies, traditions and Air Force standards while learning military and technical skills. Most airmen graduate basic military training with the rank of airman basic (E-1).
