Nebraska Wing's 'Chat with the Chiefs'

Great shout-out from the Nebraska National Guard about their recent "Chat with the Chiefs" event with members of Nebraska Wing's 155th Composite Squadron!

(From the Nebraska National Guard's Facebook page post of 3/6/26) "Senior enlisted leaders from the Nebraska Air National Guard spent the evening with cadets from the Civil Air Patrol’s 55th Composite Squadron, sharing insights from their careers and answering questions about basic military training, service experiences, and the qualities that define strong leadership.

Cadets had the unique opportunity to hear directly from a panel that included Chief Master Sergeant Scott Tontegode, Chief Master Sergeant Dave Nelson, Chief Master Sergeant Kyle Eddy, Chief Master Sergeant Casey Svitak, and Senior Master Sergeant Ashley Gloria. Their perspectives offered valuable guidance for the next generation of leaders preparing to serve their communities and nation.

Engagements like this help build a strong bridge between today’s youth and the future leaders they are becoming, motivating cadets as they continue their journey in Civil Air Patrol and carry these lessons into their future endeavors."
