PACAF Airman of the Year returns to Hawaii as OSI Wing Commander

Before U.S. Air Force Col. Benjamin Hatch became the Office of Special Investigations Wing commander supporting Pacific Air Forces, he was an enlisted Tactical Air Control Party Airman when he won PACAF’s 1999 Airman of the Year. “It meant so much to me just knowing the time it took for my supervisor to write the package,” Hatch remembered. “My raters saw something in me that I never saw in myself and they really pushed me to be the best that I could be.” (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Hailey Haux)
