The Chief of Staff of the Air Force, General Mark A. Welsh the 3rd, visited Creech Air
Force Base to talk to Airmen during a special All Call. During the All Call, General Welsh
touched on a variety of topics, ranging from knowing your Airmen to the mission at Creech
Air Force Base and its overarching impact on Air Force global operations.
You've flown over a million combat hours in the Pred, and almost a quarter million now
in the Reaper, and you know all the statistics about all the other things you've done. They're
fantastic, and just on behalf of the Air Force, in case nobody else told you today, I wanted
to say thank you for what you've done. You've made us really, really proud.
The biggest thing I took away from the All Call was that performance was his bottom line
and that's absolutely one thing that we cannot let fail. And especially with the atmosphere
of budget cuts and the constraints that we face, we still have to meet the mission a
hundred percent of the time, and that's the bottom line.
After the All-Call, General Welsh opened up the floor to answer some questions from the
Creech Airmen. Personally, I enjoy seeing higher up ranks,
especially a four star General, coming to our base, kind of to let us know that you
know they care for us. He comes down here, sees how we operate day to day, visits the
squadrons, kind of gives him a first hand view of what we're doing.
Creech Airmen greatly appreciated General Welsh taking time to interact with them on
such a personal level. Senior Airman Aaron Hauser, Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada.
