The 624th Regional Support Group hosted a customer service and leadership workshop at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, July 20-28, 2023.
Approximately 40 Reserve Citizen Airmen from different Commander’s Support Staff work centers (Hickam, Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, N.C., and Saint Paul Minn., Air Reserve Station) attended the workshop and were given a wonderful opportunity to add to their leadership toolboxes.
They joined in a series of development programs on personal and professional development to better understand oneself, coworkers and how to leverage their unique skills and create an effective work environment.
“The workshop was incredible and I thoroughly enjoyed the training,” said Tech. Sgt. Brittani Vance, 567th Red Horse Squadron, noncommissioned officer in charge of commander’s support staff, Seymore-Johnson, “Being fairly new to the carrier field, it was nice to see how another CSS members addressed challenges, the learning environment was comfortable, easy to ask questions and it was a great experience.”

“My passion and purpose are helping people help themselves,” said Chief Master Sgt. Caballero. “I am committed in supporting and assisting those that want to make an intentional pivot for the future.”
Caballero also spoke to 80 active-duty members during the 15th Wing Senior Noncommissioned Officers Professional Enhancement seminar. He provided insight on how to become a better leader, maintain a work life balance and tools necessary to navigate through challenging times.
Through small groups, Airmen interacted and gained mutual understanding of each other, built strong relationships and learned how to offer great customer service; important skills for any successful organization.

Maria Tailo, 624 RSG, section chief, commander’s support staff. “CSS is the heartbeat of the organization; we understand how important our role is to the squadrons, the training definitely hit all expectations.”
