Goodfellow AFB Accepting Applications for 2025-26 Honorary Commander Program

SAN ANGELO, TX – The 17th Training Wing is now accepting applications for the 2025-2026 iteration of the Honorary Commander Program.

The program runs over the course of 12 months, starting with an induction ceremony in November 2025 and culminating with a graduation ceremony in November 2026.  

According to information shared with San Angelo LIVE!, the program gives members of the San Angelo community a chance to gain a deeper understanding of the 17th TRW mission at Goodfellow AFB.

This is accomplished through a series of immersion events that provide Honorary Commanders a chance to learn about each of the groups that comprise the 17th TRW. Members are also invited to attend other events such as the Air Force Ball and Basic Military Training graduation.

"These events deepen their understanding of military ceremony, culture, and tradition," information stated. 

Honorary Commanders represent a diverse group of professionals from a variety of organizations  throughout the city of San Angelo.  

Community members interested in learning more about the 17th TRW Honorary Commander Program can go to Goodfellow’s designated website page: Honorary Commander Program (af.mil). 

The page has a link to the application and instructions on the submission process. The application deadline is Friday, August 29.
