    174th Attack Wing

    HANCOCK FIELD AIR NATIONAL GUARD BASE, SYRACUSE, N.Y. –The 174th Attack Wing recognized newly promoted staff sergeants and master sergeants during an induction ceremony at Hancock Air National Guard Base, Syracuse, New York, March 5, 2023.

    Both Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs) and Senior NCOs were issued their charges and the oath, which is a military rite of passage.

    According to the NCO charge statement, which was read during the induction ceremony, NCOs are the front-line supervisors, and they are entrusted with presenting an image of competence, integrity, and pride. NCOs are required to place the Airmen's need above their own, be fair and impartial, communicate and lead by example.

    For Senior NCOs, the induction ceremony is an important milestone in an airman’s career. Read during the induction ceremony, the Senior NCOs creed stated that master sergeants transition from being a technical expert to leaders and mentors.

    These Senior NCOs must promote the highest standards of conduct, appearance, and performance.

    The following Airmen were presented certificates during the ceremony:

    Staff Sgt. Nathaniel Cardiel
    Staff Sgt. Logan Duffy
