TINKER AIR FORCE BASE, Okla. -- Tinker Air Force Base welcomed 44 new Senior Noncommissioned Officers in a ceremony held here Oct. 18, 2024.
On average, only 21% of Enlisted Airmen rise to the rank of Senior NCO. Their duties will increase from the day-to-day supervision, training and mentorship of junior Airmen to include policy implementation and strategic planning.
The theme for the induction ceremony was "The Fight is Now," stressing that it is up to these Senior NCOs to set the example for those that will follow in their footsteps.
Senior NCOs are the backbone of the Air Force, tasked with upholding the highest standards of personal integrity, loyalty, leadership, dedication and devotion to duty.
