Best thing you've done here: Participated in an orphanage visit through the Base Chapel.

What she did: Ross greatly contributed to the Material Management Flight as a Central Storage and Issue Journeyman. Ross demonstrated herself to be a valuable Wolf Pack member trusted to flawlessly store the Air Force's most expensive assets.

Her determined effort to inventory over 38 classified line items, valued at over $3.4 mil, resulted in zero discrepancies.

Additionally, as the classified vault controlled area monitor, she single-handedly facilitated the courtesy storage of 52 line items, including 42 new weapons, valued at more than $1.5 million, ensuring 100 percent accountability and asset availability 24 hours daily.

Lastly, as the electrostatic sensitive discharge program monitor, she validated the correct identification of 352 line items, valued at $2.2 million. Her efforts prevented the loss of these assets due to misidentified packaging and the opening of ESD assets on unapproved work benches.
