(U.S. Air Force photo by Jaima Fogg) 3 of 3 Photo Details / Download Hi-Res WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio -- The Air Force has announced its newest technical sergeant selects — and the list includes 41 names from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. This year, 5,430 staff sergeants were promoted within an eligible pool of 33,937 across the Air Force, a selection rate of 16%. “More rank means more responsibility,” Col. Christopher Meeker, 88th Air Base Wing and installation commander, said during a technical sergeant release party July 27 at Bass Lake Lodge. “More responsibility to your Airmen, to treat them as a human and invest in them so that they invest in you. You have developed these leadership skills and earned the right to become technical sergeants, but now the responsibility gets an increase.” Chief Master Sgt. Lloyd Morales, 88 ABW command chief, also extended congratulations to the new selects. “I am fired up today for you all,” he said. “Out of 33,937 Airmen who tested, only 16% received a selection. That just shows how difficult it is to achieve the technical sergeant rank. You all have earned your right to receive this, and I hope you carry passion for the responsibility you will have because of it.” “We all understand the increased responsibility that comes along with the promotion and I believe each of us here are honored to receive it and will take it seriously,” said Staff Sgt. Tyler Downhour, 88th Operations Support Squadron. Below are the technical sergeant selects for WPAFB (listed by unit): Air Force Installation Contracting Center Staff Sgt.
