94th AES welcomes new commander Published Jan. 11, 2016 By Senior Airman Andrew Park 94th Airlift Wing DOBBINS AIR RESERVE BASE, Ga. -- Lt. Col. Michael Boles assumed command of the 94th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron Jan. 10 in the 22nd Air Force Media Center at Dobbins Air Reserve Base, Ga. “28 years in the medical community: that is what we call a subject matter expert,” said Col. James DeVere, 94th Operations Group commander, highlighting the new commander’s extensive experience in the medical field. Boles comes to Dobbins from the Headquarters National Guard Bureau, Air National Guard Readiness Center at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland. “Aeromedical Evacuation, in my opinion, is the most important job in the entire Air Force,” said Boles. “The fact that we get the privilege to bring home injured airmen, soldiers, and marines is a gift. I’m very passionate about this mission, and I don’t think there’s another mission that can possibly ever compare to bringing these people home.” Boles also extended a challenge to the airmen in his new squadron.“I challenge all my squadron to stay current and stay ready,” said Boles. “So when we get the call, we’re ready to go.”
