Air Force CMSgt. Kenneth J. McQuiston is moving up the street to become the Senior Enlisted Advisor for US Transportation Command, headquartered at Scott AFB, Ill. McQuiston, a 23-year USAF veteran, has been the command chief master sergeant for Air Mobility Command’s 18th Air Force, with its HQ at Scott, as well. He says it will be a challenge to learn the career, promotion, and educational systems of the other military services represented at TRANSCOM, but he says that his experience has taught him that “people are people” and they all “want to do a good job, be recognized for their performance.”
The U.S. military conducted a new series of airstrikes on Iran June 26, a day after Tehran struck a commercial ship in the Strait of Hormuz. The twin attacks presented a fresh test for a tenuous ceasefire between the two countries.
