Reason for nomination: "Staff Sgt. Kisente Fung went above and beyond by taking the lead on the setup for the LCAP/IG Inspection Team. He coordinated and installed 44 computers, 21 LMRS, 12 phones and 3 printers valued at $25 thousand. Sgt. Fung provided "Top Notch" support and leadership to this effort; he met mission requirements three days ahead of schedule. His plan of attack on the project ensured a smooth setup with zero technical issues. In addition, to working this high visibility project, Sgt. Fung also continued to meet his daily mission objectives. He rapidly responded to a high priority ticket within minutes of notification when Airfield Systems needed radio support to communicate with pilots and to ensure that there were no delays. Sgt. Fung volunteered to work seven additional hours to ensure communication between Airfield Systems and pilots were met and operational; he troubleshot and tested six cable pairs; then used his knowledge and expertise to correct the nonfunctioning pairs within two hours. Sgt. Fung is a dedicated and exceptional leader that epitomizes the highest professional standards to the organization and the Air Force, which makes him Pride of the Pack," Tech Sgt Mason Wilson.
