Airman of the Quarter (ANG 161st ARW)
During my current assignment at my Air National Guard base in Arizona I preformed my duties above and beyond what was asked of me. Surpassing my leadership and supervisors expectations. Completing many difficult tasks and training challenges. Effectively doing my day to day job at a high efficiency and displaying leadership quality's and personability to the environment. Showing both high potential for growth but also showing a hunger for knowledge and challenges. Because of this I was recommended for the award of Airman of the month in my Unit.
