BUCKLEY AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. -- Eighth Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force Sam Parrish recently visited Buckley to talk to Airmen. Though he was invited to speak at the annual awards banquet, he used the opportunity to meet with First Term Airmen Center classes, the Airman Leadership School as well as Airmen, NCOs and Senior NCOs from throughout the base.

He spoke with Airmen about what it takes to be sucessful, as well as to continue to be the best Air Force in the world.

Airmen need to "do things for the right reason," he said during a Senior NCO breakfast. "And the right reason has never included I."
