“I want to say good job to this Air Force person. She worked for the government for a long time. She did many important jobs. She worked with me for a while. She did a good job then too. I want you to be proud of her. Thank you for your service.”

Official Congressional Record

Mr. President, I rise today to recognize and congratulate CMSgt Megan W. Parrott on her retirement from the U.S. Air Force after more than 27 years of distinguished service in uniform to our Nation. Throughout her accomplished career, Chief Master Sergeant Parrott has exemplified the professionalism, leadership, and commitment to excellence that define the very best of the U.S. Air Force. She currently serves as the strategic communications advisor to the Chief of the Air Force Reserve, where she oversees the development and coordination of strategic communications that advance the Reserve's priorities and strengthen engagement with Congress, community partners, and other key stakeholders. Chief Parrott began her military service in 1999 as an aircraft maintenance guidance and control technician on the KC-10A Extender. Following her transition to the Air Force Reserve, she held numerous leadership roles within the maintenance community before being selected to serve as the operations noncommissioned officer in charge for the Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Her exceptional performance, sound judgment, and steadfast dedication earned her some of the Air Force Reserve's most significant leadership opportunities. I had the privilege of getting to know Megan when she served in my office as my Defense fellow in 2018. As the first enlisted legislative fellow selected from the Air Force Reserve, she brought invaluable insight and expertise to my staff, advising on defense, national security, and veterans' affairs policy. Those who had the opportunity to work with her appreciated the professionalism, integrity, and dedication to public service she demonstrated to benefit Arkansans and the military and veteran community across our Nation. Chief Parrott's career reflects an unwavering devotion to duty and a steadfast commitment to serving both the Air Force Reserve and our country. We are tremendously proud of her selfless service, exemplary leadership, and commitment to the men and women of our Armed Forces. On behalf of the U.S. Senate, the Senate Air Force Caucus, and a grateful nation, I extend my sincere appreciation to Chief Parrott and her family for their many years of sacrifice and dedication. I congratulate her on an extraordinary career and wish her continued success in the years ahead.
