Gary Kurtz, centered, assistant commander for Acquisition (AIR 1.0), scoops ice cream for his teammates at the Program Management ice cream social on Aug. 13. The event marked Kurtz’s first 100 days as AIR 1.0 and it allowed him to show his appreciation to his team. He said his first 100 days gave him the opportunity to reaffirm his views about the importance of Program Management to NAVAIR, the fleet and the warfighter. The time also allowed him to assess his goals for AIR 1.0. “At the heart of our logo is ‘Acquisition Excellence,’” he said. “We must continue to maintain that excellence and we must focus on how we can raise that expectation in our programs, products and services.”
