1 Air National Guard Command Chief Master Sgt. Maurice L. Williams discussed service, leadership, the future Air Force, and the need to accelerate change or lose in remarks to more than 80 New York Air National Guard technical sergeants on June 25.
Williams, the ANG CCM since October 2020, addressed the group for more than 30 minutes as part of the Technical Sergeants Involved in Mentoring Enlisted Airmen (TIME) course.
“Right now, in your career, you’re in the most powerful position you can be in,” Williams said. “You have a connection to senior NCOs because you are one tier down and, as first-line supervisors, you have a connection with those below you.”
