How I Hold the Line - SSgt Kenny

27th Special Operations Wing

Jan. 26, 2024 | 0:56

SSgt Kenny, a proud father and Air Commando, works as a 27th Special Operations Wing MQ-9 Sensor Operator, directly supporting the men and women on the ground tackling complex challenges.
Although he joined the Air Force looking for stability, he also found a community and a passion to serve. Kenny’s love for his family and desire to serve others drive his dedication to duty.
In AFSOC, Kenny continues to pathfind capabilities alongside a cohesive, disciplined team guided by the #SOF truths, the defense of our national interests, and the proud heritage of the #SteadfastLine.
Not everyone can do this job, but Air Commandos like Kenny are the reason those who can stick around. #AFSOC
