Warren Warrior of the Week - Greg Chesser Published Feb. 3, 2012 By 90th Missile Wing 90th Missile Wing F. E. WARREN AIR FORCE BASE, Wyo. -- Full name: Greg Chesser Unit: 90th Civil Engineer Squadron Job/Duty title: Assistant Fire Chief for Fire Prevention Job description and mission impact: Manage the installation fire prevention program including the hazard assessment inspection, public fire prevention and education, and fire protection engineering and extinguisher maintenance programs. Reviews construction and modification plans, confers with engineers and provides technical assistance on fire prevention and building design criteria. Also serves as the flight's Fire Service Accreditation Program Manager. Accomplishments: The highlights of the last three months were completing my Masters Degree in Emergency Management and having another successful Fire Prevention Week Open House event. By far though, having my Fire Prevention section selected as the Air Force Program of the Year was the highlight. Base/community involvement: I serve as the flight point of contact for wing events such as Red Ribbon Week and Operation Provide Joy, and Laramie County Community College Adjunct Instructor for the Fire Science Program Time in military/government employment: 27 years - 20 active duty, seven years civil service Time at Warren: 16 years Hometown: Snellville, Ga. Hobbies: Hunting, fishing, softball and getting slaughtered by wife in "Words with Friends" Why did you join the military/reasons for government service? When I retired in 2005, the opportunity to continue to serve my country doing the same job made it a "no brainer." Where do you see yourself in 10 years? I hope to see myself as the Base Fire Chief before then. Hint, hint, Chief! What do you do for fun here? Workaholic. Driving my wife and 17-year-old daughter crazy is pretty fun. What's your favorite work experience? The work my fire inspectors put in every day to ensure the safety of our workforce and residences along with seeing the end result of our diligent efforts in getting fire safety deficiencies corrected. Who are your role models? I've had tremendous fire chiefs who I've tried to take the best traits from over the years. But, Chief McDougall is truly a good one (see "hint, hint" note on 10 years from now). My wife is a true role model in a sense that I truly wish I had the heart that she has. My kids, that in today's world teens can get caught up in crazy stuff so quickly and they didn't. I have two sons now in the Air Force and my daughter is planning on attending nursing school after graduating this spring. They are true role models in my eyes.
