[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 156 (2010), Part 13] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page 18887] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]TRIBUTE TO GENERAL CARROL H. CHANDLER ______ HON. IKE SKELTON of missouri in the house of representatives Thursday, December 2, 2010 Mr. SKELTON. Madam Speaker, let me take this means to recognize and pay tribute to General Carrol H. Chandler for over 36 years of service and dedication to the United States Air Force. He currently serves as the Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force, and will retire from active duty on March 1, 2011. He will be sorely missed. A native of Carthage, Missouri, General Chandler graduated from the United States Air Force Academy in 1974. Following graduation, he earned his wings after attending Undergraduate Pilot Training at Laughlin Air Force Base. General Chandler later earned a masters degree in management, attended the Executive Program for General Officers at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard, and the Navy Senior Leader Business Course at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. A command pilot with more than 3,900 flying hours in the F-15, F-16, and T-38, General Chandler has commanded a major command, a numbered air force, two fighter wings, a support group and a fighter squadron--a true testament to his exceptional Airmanship, leadership, and judgment. His staff assignments include tours at Headquarters Pacific Air Forces, the Pentagon, Headquarters U.S. Pacific Command, Headquarters U.S. Military Training Mission in Saudi Arabia and Headquarters Allied Air Forces Southern Europe. Throughout his career, General Chandler received many well-deserved awards and decorations, and his commitment and dedication to the mission of the Air Force will be remembered for many years to come. Madam Speaker, General Chandler has distinguished himself during his career with the United States Air Force. I trust my fellow Members of the House will join me in wishing the very best to the good General; his wife Eva-Marie; and their three children, Carl, Rose-Marie, and Thomas.
