MSgt Amy Threlkeld, the First Sergeant at the I.G. Brown Training and Education center recognized two outstanding performers, TSgt Christina Mikulcik and TSgt William Hauser who achieved 100% on their PFA Diagnostic while attending the Lankford Enlisted PME for NCOA.

She also recognized TSgt Garrett Fontaine who assisted several Airmen cross the finish line after he completed his own 2-mile run. His quiet encouragement sets the best example of a Wingman. All three of these Airmen are Diamond Sharp!💎
