2006 Airman of the Year
honorable
Master Sgt. Jennifer Anderson
When Master Sgt. Jennifer Anderson arrived at her new unit in Hawaii, she formed a "dream team" and led a unit inspection program that took her flight's rating from "satisfactory" to "outstanding" in 90 days, the first such rating for the flight.
She rewarded team members by putting them in for a commander's award, which they received.
Anderson is "a selfless leader" and volunteer in the community, said Chief Master Sgt. Johnny Hollis. When one of Anderson's airmen became worried because she hadn't heard from her family living in the area hit by Hurricane Katrina last year, Anderson organized a car wash that raised $4,500 to benefit hurricane victims.
She also led the local chapter of the Airlift/Tanker Association and volunteered at the Hawaii Foodbank.
