USAF NCO here. I approached our departments EPME center with an enlisted journal idea two years ago and have been working with their Dean, although bureaucracy has stalled progress. I even reached out to the NCO Journal early in the process to model a project charter and glean some editing insights.

I learned of your fellowship through the latest War on the Rocks episode. Each of your reasons for bringing back professional writing resonated with me; it’s what prompted me to start that project in the first place. I’m excited to see how this grows, and if there is anyone I can reach out to and pick their brain about getting something sparked on the AF side, please shoot me a message: jaime.gaertner@us (dot) af (dot) mil

As an aside, this is a great article for enlisted audiences in particular. A point of understated trepidation from the PME folks I was working with amounted to a worry that Airmen would not be able to submit quality work. I wasn’t crazy about the implication but this inspires some counterarguments.
