Promotion to master sergeant marks an Airman's first step into assuming a senior non-commissioned officer's duties. The United States Air Force enlisted force structure clearly outlines the 13 core duties of SNCOs. These expectations hold SNCOs accountable for ensuring mission requirements are met while inspiring Airmen to embrace a culture of leadership, professionalism, and responsibility.

Master sergeants are transitioning from working as technical experts and frontline supervisors into dedicated administration roles while growing their technical and managerial talents. Master sergeants often serve as leaders and mentors to junior Airmen and non-commissioned officers, sharing the lessons they've learned throughout their careers.

Congratulations to the 17th Training Wing selectees for becoming the next master sergeants of the Air Force!
