See below excerpt from page 1 of Air Force Pamphlet 36-2241, Professional Development Guide, dated 1 Oct 2011, for changes.


SUMMARY OF CHANGES
There are numerous updates and changes in this edition of the Professional Development Guide (PDG). The first change is the deletion of Chapter 20, Enlisted Force Development (now combined with Chapter 9), renaming of Chapter 2 from Enlisted History to Airman Heritage, and Chapter 9 from The NCO to Enlisted Force Development. The following information was removed: first aid, force protection/threat levels, and dining-in/dining-out. New information includes Airmanship, military ethics, situational leadership, problem solving, stress management, unit morale, joint operation planning and execution system (JOPES), and strategic leadership. Text contained within the text boxes does not imply the material is any more important than other text. Not so obvious, but just as important, are the many reorganized and/or streamlined chapters that better arrange material and provide concise, relevant information. Finally, chapters 2 through 19 are applicable to Airmen testing for promotion to SSgt through CMSgt, and Chapter 17 is applicable only to personnel testing for promotion to SSgt and TSgt.
