Tyndall celebrates annual SNCO Induction Published Aug. 21, 2012 By Staff Sergeant Rachelle Elsea 325th Fighter Wing Public Affairs TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. -- Several hundred Team Tyndall members attended the annual Senior NCO Induction Ceremony Aug. 17 at the Horizons Community Center. The event highlighted several Air Force members' transition from the NCO tier to the Senior NCO tier, which occurs when an Airmen achieves the rank of master sergeant. This year, 65 members were honored. The guest speaker at the induction was retired Chief Master Sgt. Allen Ursy, who served 30 years of combined service in the Air National Guard and the U.S. Marine Corps. He culminated his career as the Command Senior Enlisted Leader for North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Command, Peterson Air Force Base, Colo. The focus of his speech was to relay the characteristics of an effective leader. "As leaders, we get what we tolerate," said Chief Ursy, "Always set the bar high. Be supportive and create opportunities that help your subordinates grow and develop; that stretch their abilities because you want them to succeed. You want them to achieve the high standards you have set for them."
