What he did: Ellisor's unmatched work ethic and ability to blend seamlessly into any work environment shined during the recent Combat Shield inspection conducted by the 53rd Electronic Warfare Evaluation Team out of Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. Ellisor was chosen as an aerospace ground equipment driver dedicated to deliver and shuffle equipment for the evaluators. His 'can-do' attitude coupled with a 'here-to-help' personality earned him recognition from the team as the 'best AGE driver' the team has seen to date.
Ellisor has proven himself to be the one of the most reliable Airmen in his flight. He has taken every opportunity to learn his job at Kunsan by routinely staying extra hours to work his and others' jobs and volunteering for hard-to-fill duties.
