Note:
Senior Airman Joshua Jobe epitomizes the Air Force Core Values and the Mustang spirit. He has excelled in one of the traditionally hardest jobs in the Air Force. He received his ratings here at Osan in only 30% of the allotted time. SrA Jobe's professionalism and maturity are well beyond his years, because of this Airman Jobe was selected for a position reserved only for NCO's and has exceeded expectations. SrA Jobe sets the example for all others; he stays active in the local community and base, regularly volunteering at the Sung Yuk Orphanage. The greatest compliment I can give SrA Jobe is he makes the people around him better.
