SPANGDAHLEM AIR BASE, Germany -- The Pitsenbarger Airman Leadership School hosted a graduation ceremony for class 10-4 March 24 at Club Eifel.

After five weeks of education and training, each graduate was equipped with the knowledge needed to assume the responsibilities that come with being an effective supervisor in the Air Force.

As a class, the Airmen of 10-4 also supported their local community through various volunteer opportunities. They helped the Spangdahlem Spouses and Enlisted Members Club at the Spring Bazaar, and volunteered their services at the pet spa. The students also helped the youth center prepare for baseball season by raking leaves, painting dugouts and building bleachers.
