Communication Analysis
Part I: Background Information
I’m active duty Air Force and currently managing the Honor Guard program in JBER,
Alaska. I’m in-charge of training, scheduling and evaluating 42 Airmen from
different jobs across the base and we communicate via phone call, text message,
emails and face to face. They are assigned to me for one year, doing military drills
and movements to perform in every military event. This creates my position very
unique and my team very diverse compared to others. I have to approach every
individual differently since everyone is coming from different office and
department.
I love what I do, specially the job that I currently have right now. However, in the
past year and a half, one of the problems I noticed with my current job is that
information doesn’t flow very well and sometimes incorrect information is passed
around. This usually creates a problem in our work center.
My team and I usually communicate very well face to face. However, it is a different
story when we use the email or any other type of communication. This is due to the
fact of computer issue or insufficient time to check their email (physical barrier)
that prevents the information to flow smoothly. They all came from different
department and not all of them have computer access all the time. In addition to
that, some of the Airmen need to realize the importance of reading their email and
at least make an attempt to check it once a day for any important message that they
might need because they are aware that we communicate through emails.
Most of the people I work with are from different department. With that being said,
some used military jargons or acronyms that I am not familiar with. I think it is
better to limit the use of acronyms and just spell out the words to better understand
the message and prevent the waste of time in trying to clarify the message.
