With each leadership opportunity I've had during my @usairforce career, I've been extremely honored, blessed, & proud...today is no exception.
@usairforce I'm proud to follow extraordinary leaders. Chiefs of Staffs from Spaatz to @GenDaveGoldfein, who have lead our @usairforce through Cold War competition & deterrence, through conflicts around the world, & through challenging #budget cycles & tough decisions.
@usairforce @GenDaveGoldfein This is a very historic day for our Nation & I don't take this moment lightly. Today is possible due to the perseverance of those who went before me serving as an inspiration to me and many others.
@usairforce @GenDaveGoldfein Those like the #TuskegeeAirmen, Benjamin O. Davis, Jr., Chappie James, African-American leaders across our #USAF & military past & present to include Mr. Ed Dwight, America's 1st African American Astronaut candidate.
@usairforce @GenDaveGoldfein It's due to their trials & tribulations in #BreakingBarriers that I can address you today as the @usairforce Chief of Staff.
@usairforce @GenDaveGoldfein Building on @GenDaveGoldfein's 3 focus areas, I'm committed to addressing today's challenges while preparing for the future so we can better compete, deter, & win.
@usairforce @GenDaveGoldfein To do so, we must no longer defer, but must accelerate the needed change & tough choices we've often discussed. We must develop & empower leaders & provide the quality service & quality of life where our #Airmen & families can reach their full potential.
@usairforce @GenDaveGoldfein You can expect my leadership will be framed by the same four tenants I've used throughout my career - Execute at a High Standard, Be Disciplined in Execution, Pay Attention to the Details, & Have Fun.
@usairforce @GenDaveGoldfein Working together & accelerating change, I'm confident that our @usairforce can continue to be the most dominant & respected Air Force in the world.
