Hunter Army Airfield welcomes new senior enlisted advisor

Official Statements

• Fort Stewart Public Affairs Office, November 13: “Hunter Army Airfield, Ga., -- Hunter Army Airfield bid farewell to their senior enlisted leader and welcomed a new one during a change of responsibility ceremony, Nov. 10, at Truscott Air Terminal. After three years and one week, Command Sgt. Maj. Keiven Favor passed responsibility of the garrison to Command Sgt. Maj. Marcos Muniz. Favor began his Army career as an Army Ranger at Hunter Army Airfield in February 2003 and said he has come full circle by ending his military career at Hunter.”

• Fort Stewart Public Affairs Office, November 13: “I couldn’t ask for a better place to begin my next chapter,” said Favor. “I’ve enjoyed the challenge. I’ve enjoyed Savannah. It all seems like it happened so fast. There’s so many awesome stories to think about as my career comes to a close, but specifically I really enjoyed these past few years." During the ceremony Favor recognized the three garrison commanders he served with and gave credit to his teammates for the successes he was able to achieve.”

• Fort Stewart Public Affairs Office, November 13: “I don’t want to say goodbye, I want to say thank you,” said Favor. “Every credit I was given is a direct reflection of the team. I think you are a more effective leader when you have a team to tackle a problem than when you try to do everything yourself.”

• Fort Stewart Public Affairs Office, November 13: “Muniz, who comes with his wife and two children from Fort Bliss, Texas, arrived at Hunter in July. He is also scheduled to remain as the garrison commander sergeant major for three years. During his remarks, Muniz thanked the leaders he worked with, as well as his wife, children and parents. “The truth is, none of us gets here alone,” said Muniz. “Behind every Soldier is a family that carried part of the load along the way, and I am incredibly blessed to have mine.”

• Fort Stewart Public Affairs Office, November 13: “Just as Favor began and ended his career at Hunter Army Airfield, Muniz also said his arrival at Hunter is like "coming full circle." Muniz was born in Hinesville, Ga., less than an hour away from Hunter and said he looks forward to strengthening the bonds within the region. “Life has a remarkable way of bringing us full circle,” said Muniz. “It’s an honor of a lifetime to serve this installation, this division, and this community.”

• Fort Stewart Public Affairs Office, November 13: “Military and civilian leaders from across the Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield and the Savannah community, attended the ceremony which was presided over by Lt. Col. Kyle Stilwell, the Hunter Army Airfield garrison commander.”

• Fort Stewart Public Affairs Office, November 13: “Command Sgt. Maj. Favor aggressively advocated for the service members, civilian workforce, and family members of Hunter Army Airfield and Fort Stewart,” said Stilwell. “You can see that in the relationships he has built with the community, both military and civilian alike. I anticipate the same with Command Sgt. Maj. Muniz. Even before he officially had the title, he spent the last two months listening,learning, and engaging with the installation and our community. Hunter Army Airfield is incredibly fortunate to have two exceptional senior enlisted leaders.”
