In the 2011 competition, she also claimed top honors in the commentary category. Keesler is the first duty station for Heiney, who arrived in August 2010. After only four months on the job, she was selected as AETC's outstanding new writer in the 2010 contest, along with second place in the commentary category and third place in the photojournalism category. Her five-part entry for 2012 included a news story about former Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force James Roy's visit to Keesler, a hurricane season preview feature, and commentaries about last year's AETC symposium, an interview with former Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force Robert Gaylor and life lessons learned from Fata Morgana's comedic daredevil Bello Nock. Heiney now represents AETC in the 2012 Air Force Media Contest.
