SHEPPARD AIR FORCE BASE, Texas --
Tech. Sgt. Billy Sasser,
361st Training Squadron aerospace propulsion instructor and native of East
Camden, Arkansas, has been in the Air Force for 14 and a half years and
is the instructor of the week at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas, for the week
of Mar. 22-28, 2016.
Most significant accomplishments:
“To date my most significant accomplishments are making
technical sergeant last year, completing my airframe and power plant license in
2013 and completing a Bachelor’s Degree in Professional Aeronautics in 2012,”
Sasser said.
Airman’s story:
“Growing up in a small town in South Arkansas, I always knew
I wanted to work on airplanes,” he said. “My dad was in the Air Force in the
security forces career field. I joined the Air Force as a way out of the small
town and to follow in my father’s footsteps. Taking care of my family is always
my number one priority. I also enjoy donating to Goodwill to help those that
are less fortunate.”

comments:
“Technical Sergeant
Sasser is always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that his students
receive proper training and mentorship,” said Timothy Robbins, instructor
supervisor. “He strives to produce the
best propulsion technicians. Recently, Sergeant Sasser had a class that had
fallen behind slightly in training. He took it upon himself to stay late for
several days to provide additional training time for his students. His
dedication to duty ensured the on-time graduation of eight Airmen.
Additionally, Sergeant Sasser is the facility manager and is responsible for
the upkeep and maintenance of a $20 Million facility that produces
approximately 1.5 thousand U.S. Air Force and international students annually.”
