Senior Master Sergeant Taylor J. Glass serves as a Senior Enlisted Leader for the Mission Sustainment Team. His responsibilities include advising the commander in all aspects of morale, personnel, operations, as well as leading and mentoring 135 personnel within the MST and DAGRE.


Glass entered the service in 2003 after completing basic training at Lackland AFB. SMSgt Taylor Glass proudly served in the United States Air Force for 21 years. His career included 17 deployments. During the course of his career he missed first steps, words, anniversaries, funerals, and anything else that comes with serving his country.
