Lt. Col. Eric Johnson, 341st Recruiting Squadron commander, here, recently presented Certificates of Achievement to Adrienne Devore and Romana McKinley, commending them for their extraordinary support to the Air Force recruiting mission.

Ms. Devore and Ms. McKinley, both from Houston, are members of the Air Force's Delayed Entry Program. Until they depart for Basic Military Training these future Airmen have each dedicated more than four hours per week assisting 10 people with improving their Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery test scores.

"They've made a significant impact in just their first five weeks of mentoring, "said Tech. Sgt. Derek Rivera, F-Flight Flight chief.

As a result of their mentoring, individuals they are assisting have averaged an 18-point increase in their ASVAB scores. Half of them are now qualified in the highest enlistment category and two people who previously did not meet entry standards are qualified and awaiting a basic training class date.

Ms. Devore and Ms. McKinley's recruiter has nothing but praise for them.

"Because of their hard work and dedication the Air Force continues to be the most dominate air power by increasing its number one asset -- people." Tech. Sgt. LaCanta Corbin, 341st RCS recruiter said.

Staff Sgt. Cheryl Vercellona, 341st RCS recruiter whose applicants have benefited from the tutoring sessions, described these women as "selfless" and says "they truly understand the meaning of what it means to be a Wingman."

Ms. McKinley is scheduled to attend Air Force Basic Military Training in December 2009, while Ms. Devore's BMT date is still to be determined.
