The Air Force is experiencing a crisis of retention stemming from overwork, cultural rigidity, and low morale. Across the service, first-term enlisted Airmen are among the most susceptible to this trend of voluntary termination While there are

many ways to tackle this issue, the single most influential solution is to build stronger relationships between Airmen and direct supervisors.
