'We are ready' Published June 13, 2012 By Col. John C. Kubinec 377th Air Base commander KIRTLAND AFB, N.M. -- Next week, the men and women of the 377th Air Base Wing will undergo the Air Force's most stringent evaluation, a Nuclear Surety Inspection. Our Airmen dedicate themselves to the critical mission of ensuring our nation's deterrence 365 days a year, and this week is no different. The commitment it takes to excel during this NSI is the same commitment demonstrated each and every day by our great team. In our mission, there is no room for error and the standards are exacting ... that's what our nation requires of us and that's what we deliver. To the Tigers of the 377th Air Base Wing: you're ready for this! This is your opportunity to show the entire Air Force what we already know to be true: that the 377th Air Base Wing is the Air Force's premier nuclear organization. Allow your pride, professionalism and positive attitude to shine for our guests from the Inspector General, just like you do for Team Kirtland every day. I'm proud to be a part of your team and honored to serve with such professionals.
