GOODFELLOW AIR FORCE BASE, Texas – During the 2025 promotion cycle, 6,043 out of 25,805 eligible technical sergeants were selected to receive the “Rooftop” and join the highest tier of the enlisted force with 40 of those from the 17th Training Wing recognized at the Powell Event Center on June 16.
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 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 on becoming the next master sergeants of the Air Force!
