Leo Marquez Award Winner...John Kendall!!



A few weeks ago, we attended the Maintenance Professional of the Year Awards Banquet.  John had been nominated for the Air Force Leo Marquez Award for CGO (Company Grade Officer) Aircraft Maintenance category.  The award, named in honor of retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Leo Marquez, recognized maintenance operations in the categories of Aircraft, Munitions/Missile and Communications-Electronics Maintenance.  The award is presented to maintainers who have demonstrated the highest degree of sustained job performance, job efficiency and results, job knowledge, and direct sortie generation involvement.   
This is impressive because John has only been in the maintenance career field for the 2 1/2 years we have been in Germany.  His actual career field is contracting, which he'll return to upon our move to Virginia in the fall.

Come to think of it, you were always great to fix things around the house even as a wee little one. I do remember the extra parts left over, however when you put a gas grill together when you were only 11. It's your calling alright! (the COL should have talked to me first!) I'm so proud of you!!! Hugs, Mom
