Today, MSgt Brent Hicks, JB MDL Top III President, coined MSgt Johnson (not pictured), MSgt Mueller, TSgt Senical (not pictured) and TSgt Guzman on behalf of the 87th Air Base Wing Chief Master Sergeant, CMSgt Nicholas “Nic” Conner for successfully planning, coordinating, instructing, and graduating 22 service members (Marines, Sailors, Airmen and Coast Guard) during the 2026 Leading Edge Course on 18-21 May in JB MDL, NJ.

🗡️Leading Edge, a professional development program offered for members between the ranks of E-4 to E-6, focuses on building joint leaders who understand the functionality, operations and customs and courtesies of each branch to maintain a foundation of successful interoperability.

“[Leading Edge] builds that shared foundation early,” said U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Corinthian Johnson, 818th Mobility Support Advisory Squadron flight chief of training and Leading Edge chair. “I think the beauty in a program like this is that, since we’re already a joint base, we have representation across all the branches. You get to learn doctrines, share languages and customs, network and understand each branch’s capabilities.”

The JB MDL TOP III hosted the annual SMSgt (Senior Master Sergeant) release party on 9 March 2026 at Tommy B’s. We celebrated as we honored the 25 Master Sergeants who have been selected for promotion to the rank of Senior Master Sergeant (SMSgt).

The SMSgt Selects received an engraved plaques to commemorate this milestone of their military journey.

🔹 Significance of the Rank 🔹

This marks a major milestone as a Senior Noncommissioned Officer enters the top two tiers of the enlisted force. With selection rates often hovering around 8–11%, we recognize the years of dedication and leadership required to achieve this rank.

This event highlights the transition into higher-level operational leadership. As Senior Master Sergeants, these individuals are expected to advise commanders, lead large teams, and merge technical talents with mission-critical functions.

CONGRATULATIONS SMSgt Selects!!! 🎉🍾🇺🇸

“The records are cool,” Buckingham said. “They’re fun. They keep me in shape because a lot of these you’ve got to train for. It’s not about the records, it’s not about any of that. It’s really about my passion for the nonprofit and the children’s work.”
