Joint Base Charleston, S.C. --  The 315th Airlift Wing held an induction ceremony for the wing's newest NCO and Senior NCOs here June 23.

The ceremony was presided over by Col. Terry Lawrence, 315th AW Operations Group commander, and Chief Master Sgt. Gigi Manning, 315 AW command chief master sergeant, who recognized the Airmen's personal and professional milestones in their Air Force Reserve careers.
