Our Military culture knows unity, grit, and adaptability. What does this mean when our time of military service is done? Transitioning into something that might seem permanent can be tough. Our guest speaker is a Veteran who retired as a Chief Master Sergeant in the U. S. Air Force. Transition is something we all go through and Rick Tallman’s story is one that will resonate with many.
Richard Tallman is a dedicated veteran who retired from the Air Force in 2017 after a distinguished 30-year career. Richard retired as the Chief Enlisted Manager for the 821st Contingency Response Squadron, Travis AFB, California. His military journey included pivotal roles such as Aircraft Maintenance Hydraulic Systems, Crew Chief, Aero Repair, Production Superintendent, First Sergeant, Aircraft Quality Assurance Superintendent and Director of Maintenance. Richard was stationed at multiple bases worldwide and has 17 deployments under his belt including locations such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Oman, Saudi Arabia, McMurdo Station Antarctica, and several Pacific theater locations.
