Red Tails celebrate newest Technical Sergeant Selectees

UNDISCLOSED LOCATION --  

Red Tails from the 332d Air Expeditionary Wing celebrated the wing’s newest technical sergeants during an E-6 release party July 23.

The U.S. Air Force’s Enlisted Force Structure, known to Airmen as the “Brown Book” due to its dark tan cover, outlines the roles and responsibilities for each enlisted rank. This handbook explains that the noncommissioned officers (NCO) tier preserves our legacy and heritage by focusing on leading teams and shaping the future force.

Several sections of the book describe the critical role of the NCO, and how they will be proficient in Airmen leadership qualities and mentor their subordinates and peers through continual education, training, and experience to develop ready and disciplined teams. 

Brigadier General Ryan R. Messer, 332d AEW commander, said “Your promotion exemplifies your technical skill, leadership, and standard of excellence. We are fortunate to have you as team members.”

“Promotion to technical sergeant is very competitive, this year the promotion rate was only 16 percent,” says Messer.

Congratulations to the 332d AEW technical sergeant selects:
