Best thing you've done here: It's a tossup between zip lining and my recent trip with the ROK air force to Jeonju, ROK.

What she did:
The TRICARE and patient administration flight found itself without a key component, office phones. In the 8th Medical Group, several office phones went down, taking with it all capability for clinical care coordination for several clinics. Senior Airman Theresa Jimenez took the lead and immediately got to work to procure the necessary components. She quickly scheduled the shipping of the replacement phones. Due to her diligent efforts, they arrived within 10 days. Upon arrival Jimenez immediately arranged for the phones to be received and notified medical systems to arrange installation. In addition to restoring a vital service and component, Jimenez procured $6,466 in needed medical supplies for the entire medical group. The hard work she displays day in and day out allows for the continued support to our 8th Fighter Wing to ensure it is "Fit to Fight!" Throughout the entire period, Jimenez completely embodied the U.S. Air Force's second and third of the core values: 'Service before self' and 'Excellence in all we do.' Jimenez is definitely the "Pride of the Pack!"
