Every Taco ’Bout It event is enjoyable and engaging, but last week’s event was especially bittersweet. It was only fitting that our own Ch, Capt Joshua Gentry, serve as the special guest for the evening. As it was his final event here at Sheppard, the occasion carried a special significance.

Throughout his time as White Rope OIC, Ch Gentry has made a tremendous impact. He immersed himself wholeheartedly in the program and has been unwavering in his dedication to developing and leading our young Airmen leaders. His influence is clearly reflected in the enthusiasm and admiration our White Ropes have whenever they have the opportunity to be in his company.

No one will ever truly know how much time you put into shaping these young adults, and how much you have truly cared for them. Thank you for being an amazing teammate, and leader!
