Airmen from around the base were invited to begin their very own Dobbins First Four during the April unit training assembly here, with the support of members of the Top Three organization, first sergeants and the command chief, who were also in attendance.

"What a pleasure it was for me to speak to the Dobbins First Four," said Chief Master Sgt. Wendell L. Peacock, 94th Airlift Wing command chief master sergeant. "With the assistance of the senior noncommissioned officers I saw in the room during the first meeting, I feel confident this will be successful as an organization. I would also encourage our 56 Group, the Top Three and the Dobbins Chiefs Group, as well as all NCOs, SNCOs and officers to support the Dobbins First Four."

During the meeting, members were asked to contribute ideas via a questionnaire they filled out. Members reported that they were interested in networking with other Airmen from around base and SNCO mentors. Airmen at the meeting were also very much in favor of participating in community service projects, leadership and professional development workshops and social gatherings around base.

"This can be the start of something really good for you as Airmen and team Dobbins," said Peacock. "I say 'can' because the group will only be as strong as you make it, that is your challenge."

The First Four is scheduled to meet during the May UTA at 11:30 a.m. in building 838, room 2406. For more information, the First Four can be found on Facebook at www.facebook.com/dobbinsfirstfour.
