While I didn't gain observing experience my second tour at Offutt AFB I did gain coveted leadership and supervisory experience through the position of supervisor over many airmen, unheard of for my rank (while others far outranked me were supervising no one). It was there at Offutt AFB that I was mentored and encouraged to continue my meteorology training and Weather Forecasting School. After being selected for Non-Commissioned Officer Leadership School, again, far ahead of others who outranked me, I headed back to Chanute AFB for the grueling 6-month weather forecasting course.
