1/15/2014 - WESTOVER AIR RESERVE BASE, Mass. -- The
Patriot Wing's senior enlisted Airman will soon take the same job --
one level higher in the Air Force Reserve chain of command.
Command Chief Master Sgt. Michael Thorpe will become 22nd Air Force
Command Chief Feb. 1, replacing Command Chief Master Sgt. Steven
Larwood.
Maj. Gen. Mark Kyle, 22nd AF commander, selected Thorpe for the position at Dobbins Air Reserve Base, Ga.
"As my tenure comes to a close and I move on to 22nd to take on a new
role, know that the Patriot Wing will also have a special place in my
heart," Thorpe said. "The life lessons I have learned over the past 25
years will serve me well. The most important decision I have ever made
in my life was to enlist in the Patriot Wing. The missions may change
but there is one constant -- your loyalty and dedication. It has truly
been an honor."
Thorpe has been the command chief with the 439th Airlift Wing at
Westover since May 2011. He joined the Air Force Reserve in 1988.
