OKLAHOMA CITY (OBV) — Sen. Paul Rosino, R-Oklahoma City, was recently inducted into the Take Charge and Move Out (TACAMO) Hall of Fame, recognizing more than 15 years of service supporting the U.S. Navy’s TACAMO mission, according to a Senate announcement.
Master Chief Petty Officer Rosino held multiple TACAMO roles, including overseeing maintenance of TACAMO aircraft and supporting operations at Tinker Air Force Base to provide airborne communications links to strategic forces.
Rosino’s induction was endorsed by senior Navy leadership—listed as commodores, skippers and senior enlisted officials—along with Oklahoma civic leaders, the TACAMO Community Veterans Association and current Hall of Fame members, the release said.
“Being inducted into the TACAMO Hall of Fame is an incredible honor,” Rosino said. “Supporting the men and women who serve in this vital mission has been one of the greatest privileges of my career. I’m deeply grateful to the TACAMO community and my fellow sailors for this recognition.”
During the recognition, colleagues cited Rosino’s performance across roles “whether as junior enlisted, leading chief, or as Maintenance Master Chief,” and noted his ability to balance mission requirements while also focusing on the well-being of sailors, according to the Senate statement.
The Senate release also said TCVA members highlighted his efforts to instill pride and commitment within the maintenance department at Tinker under the motto “failure is not an option,” and noted his legislative work representing Senate District 45 since 2017 and advancing policies supporting veterans, law enforcement and Oklahoma’s aviation industry.
