Some of us are side-seekers, preferring to stand near the walls, away from the center of attention, anywhere outside the spotlight is our comfort zone … but it gets tricky for us side-seekers when one excels. Excellence is pretty obvious to spot, imagine a flashlight pointed directly into your eyes. Airmen (side-seekers or spotlighters) who excel have no choice then to be noticed, they become the star, become an inspiration and that is what a student found himself being when he re-enlisted after a break in service.

Gulfport, Mississippi native Senior Airman Shaun R. Lunn, Aerospace Ground Equipment Apprentice, was awarded the ACE award after scoring 100s on all his block tests. The AGE apprentice course consists of 87 training days and 15 blocks of training.
