ALS Class 14-Echo remove white ropes upon graduation

Members of ALS Class 14-Echo, remove the white aiguillettes after graduating from the Chief Master Sgt. Richard L. Etchberger Airman Leadership School during a graduation ceremony held June 26, 2014, at the Northern Lights Club on Grand Forks Air Force Base, N.D. ALS students wore the aiguillettes or white ropes on the left shoulder in order for people to recognize them as one of the graduates. Class 14-E was made up by two student flights. One flight consisted of 12 active-duty Airmen completing their in-residence course at the Etchberger ALS in Grand Forks AFB, while the other flight was made up of a dozen Air National Guard Airmen from the 119th Wing attending an in-residence ALS course at the North Dakota ANG base in Fargo, N.D. Both of the flights were simultaneously taught by Air Force active-duty instructors from the Etchberger ALS. This new approach on training was the first of its kind according to officials from the 119th Wing and the 319th Air Base Wing. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Luis Loza Gutierrez)
