He writes that changing requirements mean many airmen must “perform duties in different organizations and environments than they’ve known before.” He goes on to note that “different times” call for airmen to “be adaptive.” Murray will be retiring this summer, after serving for 29 years. His successor is CMSgt. Rodney McKinley.
