Mike's Promotion!

Mike was awarded the honor of "Below the Zone". To translate, he was recognized for being amazing. =) He's done a great job at his work, winning awards like Maintenance Professional of the Quarter and taking on more and more responsibility in his year here in Japan. He has taken the position of Vice-President of the MOS society, which plans events like the squadron BBQ and fundraising for the Friendship Festival in September. He's earned a 4.0 during his first term taking classes online, and volunteers every week with our Junior High youth group as "Macho Mike" =)

One of the perks of "Below the Zone" is that he gets to "sew on" (move up in rank) 6 months early. My guy is no longer an Airman First Class, but a Senior Airman! He's the highest you can get in the Airman category. Next stop, Sgt!

Here's a short clip from his promotion ceremony. At the beginning, the crowd is yellow "MOS - BRIDGING THE GAP!" That's their motto!
