U.S. Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Alex J. Eudy, Senior Non-Commissioned Officer Academy commandant, visited Goodfellow Air Force Base, Texas, Feb. 22.

Throughout the visit, Eudy was given an in-depth look at the 17th Training Wing's mission to train, transform and empower joint and coalition warriors. 

During the visit, he had the opportunity to speak with permanent party members about his time serving and give a more in-depth look at what resilience is. Eudy was able to practice his resilience techniques when he stepped out of his usual uniform and into a fire suit to take part in multiple exercises that fire protection specialists have to pass in order to graduate from their training course.
