TEAM POPE HIGHLIGHT: This #TeamPopeHighlight features Michael Sydnor, 43rd Air Mobility Operations Group Chief of Plans and Operations/Antiterrorism. Sydnor has served #TeamPope for more than 27 years. During his Active Duty years, he was stationed at Pope Air Force Base from 1997 to 2005. After his retirement in 2005, the opportunity to continue serving in a civil service capacity arose, and he has been here ever since. As the chief of group plans and operations, the ever-busy Sydnor has been innovating processes and modernizing programs all along the way. He transitioned Pope’s initial Operational Security (OPSEC) orientation brief from an archaic system, created a survey to help identify and mitigate significant OPSEC concerns around the installation, and identified the need for more secure communications for Task Force Gryphon to support the Immediate Response Force to name a few accomplishments. These actions and more led Sydnor to winning the Category III Outstanding OPSEC Civilian in 2023 for the Air Force. Hobbies: Gun and car enthusiast Hometown: Danville, Va. Reason for Joining: Fulfilling a dream
