Brendan Criswell, 51st FW command chief after being promoted to technical sergeant through Stripes for Exceptional Performance at a presentation held at the wing headquarters Dec. 18, 2012 at Osan Air Base, Republic of Korea. The STEP program allows major commands, field operating agencies, direct reporting unit commanders, and senior Air Force officers with large enlisted populations to select a limited number of Airmen with exceptional potential for promotion to the grades of staff sergeant through master sergeant.
