Troy Student Honored by Hurlburt Air Force Association Chapter more details
Ramona Eads, a Master Sergeant in the USAF stationed at Hurlburt Field, Florida, was one of 12 people recently honored by the local Air Force Association Chapter as Unsung Heroes. MSgt Eads is a Troy University student at the Hurlburt Field Campus and is working towards a Bachelor's Degree in Social Science. She has completed 49 credit hours and is maintaining a 3.10 TROY GPA. She is assigned to the Logistics Directorate at Headquarters, Air Force Special Operations Command.
The Unsung Heroes program was started by the Hurlburt AFA in 1997 to recognize Airmen and Civilians who do an outstanding job supporting the AF mission, but who have gone largely unrecognized for their efforts. These "Unsung Heroes" are the folks that go above and beyond every day to make sure the job gets done and done well! These heroes don?t just show up for work every day, they look for ways to improve their units and the product they provide. Their efforts are not limited to work, however. They strive to make things better for everyone. Every nomination received for these awards includes examples of service to community, church, charities, or similar organizations. Most also include efforts to better themselves through schooling or training.
MSgt Eads' nomination cited her work to obtain heavy equipment to support the Melrose Range at Cannon AFB and obtain Special Tactics Squadron vehicles. Her research for this effort saved the AF over $800,000 in procurement costs. She is also certified as a Sexual Assault Response Coordinator and has completed 76 hours of Victim Advocate Training. Congratulations to MSgt Ramona Eads---Troy student!
