Master Sgt. Timothy Thornton, 437th Maintenance Squadron, metals technology section chief, shows Joint Base Charleston Honorary Commanders an aircraft part that was made by metals technology during a base tour Jan. 22, 2016. The Joint Base Charleston Honorary Commanders Program was developed to encourage an exchange of ideas, experiences and friendship between key members of the local civilian community and the Charleston military community. The program provides a unique opportunity for members of the Charleston area to shadow commanders of wing, group and tenant units at Joint Base Charleston Air Base and Weapons Station.
