Nearly 200 people turned out to congratulate the winners at the annual Outstanding Airman of the Year banquet. The four winners represented more than 27,000 enlisted people in command. The event capped a weeklong list of activities in their honor. Rawls is a Bioenvironmental Engineering Journeyman at the 3 rd Aerospace Medicine Squadron, Elmendorf AFB, Alaska.
Solid teamwork gets the mission accomplished.
In 1998, Rawls earned accolades from customers, achieving a 6.7 out of a possible 7.0 rating in 340 customer satisfaction reports. She completed 27 Occupational Safety and Health Administration compliance evaluations, twice as many as per peers. When the 3 rd Medical Group began preparing to move to their new facility, Rawls was selected from among 10 peers to help develop a massive training strategy for the hospital's 828 employees. During the year, Rawls has furthered her professional qualifications by completing the State of Alaska's Asbestos Inspection and Assessment course. This 24-hour certification course translated directly into increased capability for her flight.
