Additional Military Career Information:
I am a retired Chief Master Sergeant. I was promoted to the rank of Chief in July 2004. Here is a synopsis of my military career:
I attended Basic Military Training (BMT) at Lackland AFB, TX from 9 April to 22 May 1982, where I made honor graduate. Following BMT, I went on to tech school at Keesler AFB, MS as an Administration Specialist in July 1982 where I once again completed the course with honors. I served four years of active duty at Blytheville AFB in Arkansas from 1982 to 1986 and was assigned to the 97th Bombardment Wing’s Social Actions Office.
After my first enlistment ended, I briefly attended college in Tallahassee, FL before coming to Memphis, TN and enlisting in the Tennessee Air National Guard in January 1987. I was a traditional guardsman who worked in the 164th Combat Support Group’s Orderly Room until I was hired full-time as an Active Guard Reserve (AGR) in the 164th Communications Flight in October 1988.
In 1994, I applied for and was chosen for a position within Operations and I attended the Operations Resource Management Systems tech school at Keesler AFB in January 1995, where I once again made honor graduate. I later attended the First Sergeant Academy in December 1996 and remained as the First Sergeant for the 155th Airlift Squadron until moving into an Airfield Management position in 1998.
I attended the Airfield Management Apprentice Course in April of that year, having made honor graduate in it, and completed the Airfield Management 7-level Craftsman Course in July 2002 where I was one of only a few Guardsmen, at the time, who received distinguished graduate. I served as the Airfield Manager and was assigned to the 164th Operations Support Flight until my retirement on 30 September 2010.
After 9-11, I joined others in my unit as we participated in the E-SID (European Strategic Intra-theater Deployment) at Ramstein AB in Germany from October 2001 to November 2002. During this period of time, I was deployed approximately 201 days. I later served a tour at Balad AB in Iraq (near Baghdad) from January - April 2008.
The following is a list of awards and decorations that I received during my nearly 28 years of military service: AF Meritorious Service Medal (2 devices); AF Commendation Medal (1 device); AF Achievement Medal; AF Outstanding Unit Award (1 device); AF Good Conduct Medal; Air Reserve Forces Meritorious Service Medal (4 devices); National Defense Service Medal (1 device); Iraq Campaign Medal (1 service star); Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal; Global War on Terrorism Service Medal; Armed Forces Service Medal; AF Overseas Ribbon Short; AF Longevity Service (4 devices); Armed Forces Reserve Medal (1 device); USAF NCO Professional Military Education (PME) Graduate Ribbon (1 device); Basic Military Training Honor Graduate; AF Training Ribbon; Tennessee National Guard Commendation Ribbon; Tennessee National Guard Professional Development Ribbon; Tennessee National Guard Service Ribbon (2 devices); Tennessee National Guard Volunteer Ribbon; Tennessee National Guard Outstanding Unit Performance Commendation; Tennessee National Guard Volunteer Recruiting and Retention Unit Citation.
