By Master Sgt. King Romero, U.S. Air Force

Air Force Tech. Sgt. Maurice Jones – assigned to Defense Logistics Agency Aviation’s Supplier Operations Directorate, Post Awards Division as part of the Air Force Enlisted Career Broadening Program – renewed his commitment to the U.S. Air Force during a reenlistment ceremony here at Defense Supply Center Richmond Jan. 8.

The ceremony, conducted by Air Force Capt. Tyler Milam from the Planning Directorate’s Demand Planning Division, highlighted the Air Force's values of integrity, service and excellence. Attended by Jones' wife, Isabelle, and Air Force colleagues, the event symbolized unity and the strong bonds within the Air Force community.

Milam emphasized the importance of commitment, stating, “As you hear these words, please think back to the oath and commitments that you have made to your family, taxpayers and warfighters, and use that to motivate you to complete your mission at DLA and as you move on in your careers.”

Jones expressed his unwavering decision to reenlist, attributing further conviction to his participation in the career broadening program. "I always knew I was going to reenlist, but being in the [career broadening] program helped solidify my choice further,” he said.

The ceremony not only celebrated Jones' reenlistment but also reflected the dedication of military members and their families, reinforcing the Air Force's reputation as a leading military force.
