McChord Chief Master Sergeant Selects for 2019

Senior Master Sgt. Nathan Cox, 22nd Special Tactics Squadron senior enlisted manager, poses for a photo on Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash., Nov. 26, 2019. He was one of the nine McChord Airmen selected this year for promotion to chief master sergeant, the highest enlisted rank in the Air Force. “Making chief master sergeant is a realization of the importance to do everything I can to be worthy of the trust. And if I see a gap, fill it. No excuses. The best advice I was given about increasing levels of leadership is this: ‘More of what you do should be less about you.’ It’s important for all of us to remember that, as members of our nation’s defense, our job is to hold the line. We must resolve to continually strive to become stronger physically, morally, and technically. Millions of Americans trust that resolve. Be worthy of that trust.” (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Mikayla Heineck)

He was one of the nine McChord Airmen selected this year for promotion to chief master sergeant, the highest enlisted rank in the Air Force. “I am both humbled and blessed for the promotion to chief. In my opinion, this promotion means a culmination of an entire career, the path taken, and the lessons learned coupled with the opportunity to make an everlasting impact within the organization you are a part of. It is an opportunity to see an organizations vision come to fruition. More importantly, it is an opportunity to give back to the people who make that vision happen. The best advice I ever received was to make my career more about the people around me. I have found, in my experience, that this truth tends to resonate with people more, causing them to go above and beyond what they would consider average. It is our responsibility to generate a culture of performance that is spiritually grounded, morally proven, technically proficient, and physically ready to defend this great nation.” (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Mikayla Heineck)

McChord Chief Master Sergeant Selects for 2019

He was one of the nine McChord Airmen selected this year for promotion to chief master sergeant, the highest enlisted rank in the Air Force. “Making chief master sergeant is a direct reflection of teachable moments molding me over the course of this journey. I am humbled to have been selected to join the Chief ranks and am blessed to have the opportunity to pay forward the leadership my chief mentors provided to me throughout my career. There is no such thing as a leadership style. We have unique and individual Airmen that make up our force. It’s our responsibility to adapt to that uniqueness, align the strengths and goals of those individuals with the mission, and champion a loyal and dedicated team. Chief master sergeant is not a rank you achieve on your own. I’m forever grateful countless teammates that I’ve worked alongside over years. I’m only on this list because of their efforts, faith and fortitude. Even more so, I’m indebted to my wife and children, they are the ones that truly sacrificed over the years, and my service is their service.” (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Mikayla Heineck)

McChord Chief Master Sergeant Selects for 2019

Senior Master Sgt. Adrien Ruisenor, 62nd Maintenance Group Quality Assurance superintendent, poses for a photo on Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash., Nov. 26, 2019. He was one of the nine McChord Airmen selected this year for promotion to chief master sergeant, the highest enlisted rank in the Air Force. “I am excited about the possibilities this promotion brings and the changes that it will allow me to make. To me, it shows that you don’t have to have this dream or goal of progressing through the ranks, you can just work hard at your job, and take care of your people, and that’s enough. The Air Force will notice your worth. A piece of mentorship given to me was ‘you’re not so important that the Air Force is going to stop without you, so do the best that you can while you’re still a part of it.’ This one hit me hard as a young non-commissioned officer who thought he was hot stuff, but it really opened my eyes. It doesn’t matter where you get moved to. The Air Force is full of high potential Airmen, and one of them is going to step up and fill the void. You had your opportunity and you should have made it as good as possible for the next guy. I am so proud of all my teams, troops, and teammates. I don’t know why I was so lucky, or how it happened, but my teams were always the most cohesive and hardest working people, and just plainly the best at what they did. They all have been a part of this and I am so proud that we have always been able to come together and make it happen. Thank you to everyone.” (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Mikayla Heineck)

I love the Air Force and what it has done for us. It is an opportunity to continue to serve and grow, and develop future leaders. The Air Force is a team sport and a family. Deciding what and who you want to be is important. Caring, putting in the time, the desire to do the best job you can every day and having the courage to have difficult conversations when needed are basic keys to success. It is not about you but the positive impacts you have on others. When I first found out, I immediately thought of my first supervisors that took the time to teach how to be an Airman. I owe them the world. Supervisors need to be mindful of the impacts they can have on subordinates.” (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Mikayla Heineck)
