The Rising Six Council located at Grissom Air Reserve Base, first convened eight months ago with the purpose of establishing and maintaining a spirit of camaraderie and espirit de corps that will enhance the prestige of all Airmen and junior non-commissioned officers. 

"We currently have 18 dynamic members in the Rising Six, and we really want to see our membership increase," said Master Sgt. Trudy Burnett, a chaplain assistant with the 434th Air Refueling Wing 

In an effort to boost membership and raise money for different causes the Rising Six will have a booth setup for family day, in September. People will be able to sign up to become a member & purchase T-Shirts, she said. 

The fee for becoming a member of the council is $12, which is due annually. 

"I joined the Rising Six because of the leadership opportunities, such as being a part of decision making that will enhance the overall quality of life at Grissom," said Senior Airman Krista Kulak, the 434th Air Refueling Wing executive officer's assistant. "It is also great because you are able to meet and interact with Airmen and NCO's from different career fields." 

The council meets at 9 a.m. Sundays of the primary unit training assembly in the wing conference room of Bldg 596. 

Any Airmen or junior NCO's interested in becoming a member of the Rising Six should contact Sergeant Burnett
