Col. Christopher Sage, 4th Fighter Wing commander, took the helm of Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in July and with that job, he has also become one of the driving leaders in Goldsboro and Wayne County.
With 80 percent of the nearly 6,000 airmen that are stationed at Seymour Johnson living off base and the nearly $620 million that the base contributes to the local economy, a collaborative effort between base leadership and civic leaders is a necessity, Sage said.
In light of the effect the community has on airmen and their families and vice-versa, Sage has focused efforts on getting military spouses employed in the surrounding the community and supporting local efforts to improve schools.
