Joint Base Charleston, S.C. --  The 315th Airlift Wing held an induction ceremony Sept. 10 here for the wing's newest noncommissioned officers and senior noncommissioned officers.

The induction ceremony is an Air Force tradition which serves as a rite of passage to those selected for advancement in the noncommissioned officer corps and the senior noncommissioned officer corps.

The ceremony was presided over by Lt. Col. Robert W. McDaris Jr., 315 AW Maintenance Group assistant deputy commander who honored the new inductees with a ceremonial coin to recognize their achievements.

Chief Master Sgt. Mark E. Barber, 315th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron first sergeant, assisted Colonel McDaris and presented the inductees with a certificate of induction.

Senior Master Sgt. Berry F. Sessions, 315 AMXS flight chief, was the guest speaker for the ceremony. Sergeant Sessions encouraged the new inductees to respect and honor the brotherhood in which they are part of as members of the U.S. Air Force Reserve.
