I’ve won two awards since I’ve been in the military – two. In my career field we have little opportunity to rub shoulders with any of the big wigs and we are always seperated by a fence and a large distance from the rest of the base so we are often ignored. In fact, earlier today the wing commander alluded to the fact that we are often forgotten and only remembered when something goes wrong. Luckily for us, we seldom make mistakes. I won the professional of the week award in the NCO category and I got a coin from the group commander and wing commander during the morning standup. They took a photo for the base paper – woohoo…. or not.
Its a decent photo so here it is for all to see -
THIS IS THE LAST CHANCE TO AVERT YOUR EYES! RUN AWAY NOW!

Aw, lookit! Congrats on the award, and on not making mistakes…. kind of important in your line of work.
Look at you all smart, no really…. congratulations, your fiance must be proud!!
