Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force Kaleth O. Wright met with Airmen and hosted an all call during a visit Oct. 06, 2019, at Ebbing Air National Guard Base, Ark.
While at Ebbing ANGB, Wright learned how the Airmen of the 188th Wing effectively, and efficiently, accomplish the mission.
“Thank you for being the extreme warriors, and professionals, that you are,” said Wright. “It means a lot to me and I know it means a lot to the team.”
Wright started his visit by sitting down with squadron Chiefs and Superintendents for a mission capabilities briefing and to highlight the accomplishments of the wing.
Continuing his visit, Wright met with multiple units across the installation including the 188th Medical Group, 188th Security Forces Squadron, and 188th Operations Group where he got to see their ISR capabilities firsthand.
“I had no idea of the great work you were doing all over the world. It was a pleasant surprise. When I get back to the Pentagon, I’m going to sit down with my superiors and spread the word about the work you all are doing here,” said Wright.
To round out his visit, Wright hosted an all-call for the enlisted members where he spoke about the future of the enlisted force, changes taking place, and his priorities for his last year as the Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force.
The main topic Wright spoke about during the all-call was suicide prevention and seeking help within the military. He challenged them to be the kind of Airman that embraces and elevates others and build a culture of support.
“I was asked recently what keeps me up at night. Without a doubt, it’s suicides and the level of grit and resilience our Airmen have, ” said Wright. “We can all be better human beings. We can all take time to connect.”
While many different topics were discussed, Wright continued to press the importance of overall wingmanship and treating each other as family.
