Muncy to Air Guard members: Tell Your Story

By Tech. Sgt. David Speicher Maryland National Guard

BALTIMORE - Air Force Chief Master Sergeant Christopher Muncy, the command Chief Master Sgt. of the Air National Guard spoke with members of the 175th Wing, Maryland Air National Guard during a town hall meeting Monday.

Muncy, who represents the highest level of enlisted leadership for the Air National Guard, told the audience they need to tell their story.

"You do not tell your story," he said - encouraging the Airmen to spread the message of what they do.

"What do you tell your families? What do you tell your employers?"

Muncy stated that Americans don't know what the Air National Guard is.

He described a scenario of stopping at the gas station after a duty day and a citizen sees the Airman in uniform and asks if the Airman is in the Army. The Guard member replies, "No I'm in the Air Force."

Then the citizen asks what kind of plane do you fly? Being that most jobs in the Air Force are not pilots, Muncy encouraged all Airmen to tell their story. He wants Guard members to talk about the great things they are doing for their country and state.

"You have done great things for the entire world," he said. "You are all critical to the fight and you have to get that message out. Thanks to you, no one has invaded the country."
