Expectation vs. reality. 😎➡️🥵

Flight C-35 was all smiles before taking on the Centurions’ Memoria Run. A 5k race, plus push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, lunges, and burpees stationed throughout the course, had a way of changing that. 💪

Physical fitness is a critical component of military leadership, and SOS provides captains the opportunity to challenge themselves, build resilience, and become better versions of themselves—both mentally and physically.

Safe to say… C-35 earned their post-run sweat. 🏃‍♂️🔥

Building relationships outside the classroom is an informal but essential part of our curriculum. ⚾️✈️

Last week, Class 26E traded the flight room for the ballpark at the Montgomery Biscuits game, supporting local businesses and spending an evening connecting with classmates.

The friendships and professional networks formed at SOS often last far beyond these five weeks. Strong relationships build trust, trust builds stronger teams, and strong teams are essential to mission success.

Plus, it’s hard to beat baseball, biscuits, and good company. 🤝🌭

Strong officer-enlisted teams don’t happen by accident—they’re built through trust, communication, and shared understanding. 🤝✈️

Class 26E participated in SNCO Day, bringing together Squadron Officer School captains and Senior NCOs attending the SNCO Academy for a day of learning, discussion, and teamwork.

Through leadership case studies, candid cross-talk sessions, and team challenges, participants gained a deeper appreciation for the perspectives, responsibilities, and strengths each brings to the table and how they can more effectively lead Airmen together.

From classroom lessons and Team Building Exercises to squadron runs and shared challenges, captains spent the week 1 getting to know one another and building the foundation that will carry them through the next four weeks at SOS.

Different backgrounds. Different AFSCs. One team moving forward together. 💪

Week 2 starts now! 💥✈️

SOS is about far more than lessons and exercises. It’s about people. ✈️

This is a look at Flight A-13 of the Knights during Class 26C—starting as strangers from different AFSCs and backgrounds, then leaving five weeks later as a cohesive, successful team. Through long days, difficult challenges, and shared wins, they built the trust and relationships that make teams effective under pressure.

A-13 is just one example of what happens across SOS when captains invest in the experience, embrace the challenges of the curriculum, and connect with the people around them. Those relationships matter because mission command depends on teams built on competence, character, cohesion, and mutual trust.

The bonds built here don’t just make SOS memorable—they help create more effective warfighters and stronger teams for the future fight. 💥

Class 26D may be back home at their units, but their impact on the Montgomery community will last far beyond graduation. 🤝✈️

During their time at SOS, captains volunteered 356.5 hours supporting organizations like the Montgomery Humane Society, Men of Valor, Autism Awareness, and the Montgomery Biscuits. They also donated 50+ pounds of pet supplies and gave 163 units of blood to LifeSouth and the Armed Services Blood Program. ❤️

Wherever Airmen go, they bring more than a uniform—they bring leadership, service, and a commitment to the communities around them.

559 graduates.
40 flights.
1 unforgettable class. ✈️

Congratulations to the Class of 26D!

Beyond the classroom, 26D made a lasting impact across the Montgomery community—donating 50+ pounds of pet supplies, volunteering 356.5 hours with organizations like the Montgomery Humane Society, Men of Valor, Autism Awareness, and the Montgomery Biscuits, and donating 163 units of blood to LifeSouth and the Armed Services Blood Program. ❤️

This class also included 23 International Officers representing 13 partner nations from across the globe—strengthening friendships and partnerships that extend far beyond SOS. 🌎🤝

Good luck, 26D. Safe travels home, and keep leading forward.

Oh, you thought we were going to skip a FLEX post for class 26D?

You were wrong. Wouldn’t dream of missing a chance to show 26D athleticism. 😅💥

Class 26D had to think fast, adapt faster, and survive the chaos long enough to claim bragging rights for FLEX this week.

Bottom line: OODA faster than the other guy, good job 26D! ✈️
