       THE RETIREMENT OF CHIEF MASTER SERGEANT WENDELL L. PEACOCK

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. DOUG COLLINS

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 31, 2014

  Mr. COLLINS of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to recognize 
Chief Master Sergeant Wendell L. Peacock of the 94th Airlift Wing at 
Dobbins Air Reserve Base on the occasion of his retirement.
   Chief Peacock enlisted in the Air Force in 1981 and served eight 
years of active duty before joining the Air Force Reserve. He has held 
various assignments in the security forces career field. In 2007, he 
moved to Dobbins Air Reserve Base as a Security Forces Manager. Chief 
Peacock became the Command Chief Master Sergeant for the 94th Airlift 
Wing at Dobbins in May 2011.
   In this position, Chief Peacock has been the principal advisor to 
the commander and staff. He has been responsible for influencing 
mission readiness, utilization, morale, and quality of life for more 
than 1,600 enlisted Airmen. He has also coordinated with staff agencies 
and assists with the implementation of wing policies.
   I had the privilege of working alongside Chief Peacock as a chaplain 
in the 94th Air Wing and had a close relationship with him. He 
exemplifies the very best traits that can be found among the ranks of 
our Armed Forces. I stand with many Airmen at Dobbins who will miss the 
Chief and wish him all the best in his retirement.
