The 908th Flying Training Wing (FTW) held an awards banquet earlier this month at the Renaissance Montgomery Hotel and Spa at the Convention Center in Montgomery.<\/p>\n The annual event serves as a celebratory reminder, highlighting the 908th FTW\u2019s standout airmen throughout 2024.<\/p>\n Following the introduction of the nominees, there was a POW\/MIA table acknowledgement prior to dinner; then came the event\u2019s guest speaker, Chief Master Sgt. Neco L. Johnson, the commandant for the Air Force First Sergeant Academy at Maxwell Air Force Base\u2019s Gunter Annex, who spoke on the importance of leadership within the Air Force along with the value of taking initiative and selflessness as an airman.<\/p>\n \u201cLeadership isn\u2019t just about making the mission happen in our own functional areas,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cIt\u2019s also about looking out for those people next to you, all day, every day, right? It\u2019s about seeing the bigger picture, even when you\u2019re wounded, exhausted and having to dig deep to find the ability inside of you to lead. That\u2019s what it\u2019s all about.\u201d<\/p>\n The Alabama Weather Blog is pleased to present an excerpt from a featured article in partnership with the Alabama News Center.
