Two Washington Air National Guardsmen received Bronze Star medals for their efforts during deployments to Iraq in 2004, reports the Spokesman Review. MSgt. Henry Stroisch and TSgt. Michael Frady were deployed to Balad, Iraq, working with an Army transportation company. Stroisch set up a training program for new troops, and Frady established a computer network for the Army camp. They are both assigned to ANG’s 141st Air Refueling Wing.
Air Force Basic Military Training leaders say changes implemented as part of BMT 2.0 are generating positive results so far—especially when it comes to creating “airminded” new Airmen.
