BEALE AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. –
Twenty-eight new senior non-commissioned officers were inducted into the "Top-3" enlisted ranks during a ceremony April 2, 2006 at Recce Point Club, Beale Air Force Base, Calif.
This is the first time a wing-wide ceremony has recognized new senior NCOs from across the 940th Air Refueling Wing.
“Becoming a senior NCO really changes a person's life. They assume a different role and added responsibility. They become senior managers,” said Master Sgt. Charles Marchant, 940 ARW Top-Three president and 940th Maintenance Operations Flight First Sergeant. “This ceremony is an acknowledgement of their new role and of all the hard work that went into getting to this point in their career.”
The wing Top-Three Association hosted the event, which included inductees, their families and friends, wing leadership and wing members.
The next 940th Top-Three meeting is scheduled May 6 at 2 p.m. in the Wing Conference Room. All wing senior NCOs are invited to attend.
“At a minimum we'd like to have two representatives from each flight or squadron,” Sergeant Marchant said.
“We want to ensure each unit is represented and takes the word back to their people about what is going on,” Sergeant Beckner added.
The Top-Three leadership includes as president, Sergeant Marchant; vice president, Sergeant Beckner; secretary, Master Sgt. Joy West, 940th Services Flight; and treasurer, Master Sgt Jason Henderson, 940th Civil Engineering Squadron.
