AF Strategic Forces Command Chief Reflects on Career

Chief Master Sgt. Patrick F. McMahon, USAF, 14th Air Force command chief, shared experiences from his career with chapter members during a luncheon in September. Chief Master Sgt. McMahon enlisted as a satellite communications equipment systems specialist and spent the majority of the following 20 years working with tactical communications and mission systems. He fondly reminisced on his upbringing in the communications and electronics field and expressed his appreciation for the continued camaraderie he feels with those sharing the same background. Chief Master Sgt. McMahon also emphasized the importance that communication systems and processes play in the support of every other functional mission area. At this same luncheon, the chapter awarded Senior Airman David Dykshoorn, USAF, and Martin Agee, Vandenberg Middle School, a $500 science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) scholarship and teaching grant, respectively.
