Beyond the Flight Line: An Air Force Chief in Iraq
Join retired Command Chief Master Sergeant Carl Hunsinger for think + drink at The Bishop Museum of Science and Nature on Tuesday, November 17, 2026.
In Beyond the Flight Line: An Air Force Chief in Iraq, Hunsinger explores a little-known aspect of military service during the Iraq War. During a deployment to Mosul, Iraq, he became the first Air Force senior enlisted leader to temporarily serve in combat as an Army Command Sergeant Major while conducting convoy gun truck security.
Drawing on nearly 31 years of military service, including 26 months in direct combat operations and two Bronze Star Medals, one awarded by the Army and one by the Air Force, Hunsinger offers a firsthand perspective on leadership, service, and military operations beyond the flight line.
Doors open at 6pm. The presentation begins at 6:30pm in the Planetarium.
