Mr. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX distinguished himself as Instructor, Aircraft. Sheet Metal School, Center Education and Training Branch, Force Development Division, Ogden Air Logistics Center, Air Force Materiel Command, Hill Air Force Base, Utah, from I January 2010 to 31 December 2010. Mr. XXXXXX took on the task of replacing worn out aircraft sheet metal school training equipment that was becoming unsafe. Upon learning that the training budget could not support buying new equipment Mr Bowles searched throughout the depot for possible replacements. He discovered nearly new and seldom used equipment in a depot maintenance shop and convinced the supervisors that the sheet metal school's training needs exceeded their shop needs. The shop transferred the equipment at no cost to the school thereby modernizing the school and saving over $20,000 in new purchasing. The distinctive accomplishments of Mr. XXXXXXX reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
