Notes on AFH-1, 1 November 2024, Chapter 1, Professionalism
19 Feb 2025. The Air Force Study Guide website posted a new version of the Air Force Handbook, dated 15 February 2025. It's exactly the same as the November 2024 edition except that references to diversity and inclusion were removed. As far as chapter 1 is concerned, there were no changes. Chapter one on this site is up to date with the latest version of the Air Force Handbook.
7 Dec 24. Completed review of chapter 1, Professionalism. There was no new content or significant changes (beyond changing it from chapter 24 to chapter 1).
6 Dec 2024. A new edition of the Air Force Handbook, dated 1 November 2024, was posted on the Air Force's official website. A note beneath it stated that study guides will not be issued for the 2025 E-5 and E-6 testing cycles. The Air Force Handbook will be the PFE source to study for promotion to E-5 and E-6.
The 2025 E-6 WAPS catalog (formerly referred to as EPRRC) states that only chapters 1, 5, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 22, and 24 are testable. In addition, according to the ADTC in the new Air Force Handbook, all sections within these testable chapters are required for study. The 2025 E-5 WAPS catalog has not been issued yet and is expected to be available on 1 February 2025.
