Airmen demonstrate excellence in community
by Tech. Sgt. James Branch Public Affairs
6/9/2009 – DOBBINS AIR RESERVE BASE, Ga.
– Humanitarian efforts extend beyond military service for some Airmen. Upon completion of their monthly Unit Training Assembly (UTA), two members of the 700th Airlift Squadron trade in their Airman Battle Uniforms to participate in transformational leadership in their communities.
Personnel specialists Master Sgt. Michael Rhett and Tech. Sgt. Graysen Walles have much in common. Both have doctorate degrees and strive to make a difference in the lives of many.
Sergeant Rhett, Non-Commissioned Officer in Charge of Admin Operations and an educator, participates in the Legendary Leaders Youth Program, a mentoring group for young men. He also participates with the Weed and Seed Community Based Empowerment Program in Cobb County, a project that helps rebuild and restructure communities that have suffered because of criminal activity and social decay. He is also a member of the county’s Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) Review Board.
“You can’t put a price on mentoring youth and informing citizens,” said Sergeant Rhett. “These are two areas that are dear to me.”
Sergeant Walles, Admin Operations supervisor, is an administrator in the Clayton County public school system and runs Choices Matter Development Foundation, a non-profit organization that focuses on the needs of at-risk and high-performing minority students. Sergeant Walles is the author and publisher of the book, “Teaching, The Greatest Career on the Planet,” and has recently been selected as principal of the Elite Scholars Charter School.
“I am excited about the opportunity to live out my lifelong goal of empowering young students,” Sergeant Walles said. “In today’s competitive society, it’s important that students appreciate and embrace academic excellence.”
For Sergeants Rhett and Walles, the road to a Ph. D was a challenging one. They attribute their willingness to complete their Community College of the Air Force degrees and ultimately complete the highest level of formal study in their respective fields to the training and instilled core values of the Air Force.
“The Air Force trains you to build coalition, to work for a common goal: teamwork,” Sergeant Rhett said. “I couldn’t have achieved as much as I have without the Airmen in my life.”
For Sergeant Walles, the high expectations of his Air Force commanders and supervisors contributed to his achievements.
“On active duty, I realized that I could do anything that I put my mind to,” Sergeant Walles said. “I continue that same philosophy with the Air Force Reserve.”
Community involvement is highly encouraged at all levels of the Air Force. Undoubtedly it is due to the commitment, mission readiness and unparalleled sacrificial service of its Airmen, both in and out of uniform.
“We are proud to have Airmen such as Master Sgt. Rhett and Tech. Sgt. Walles,” said Master Sgt. Carl Vandiver, 700th AS first sergeant. “They represent the concept of Citizen Airman by bringing excellence and leadership to the table, representing their country, wing, squadron and communities.”
