Training group names top student, MTFs Published Oct. 19, 2010 By Susan Griggs 81st Training Wing Public Affairs KEESLER AIR FORCE BASE, Miss. -- Oct. 8, the 81st Training Group announced its Airman of the Month for September and the top military training flights for September and the third quarter of 2010. Airman of the Month is Airman 1st Class John Adams, 338th Training Squadron. Each of the five squadrons that train nonprior service students selects one Airman to compete at a monthly group board. Airmen are graded on personal appearance, communication skills and military bearing. They also respond to questions about customs and courtesies, dress and appearance, selected entries in the Airman's Manual and current events from that week's issue of the Keesler News. Airman Adams, who hails from Dublin, Ga., has a 98.6 grade point average in the radio frequency transmission systems course and is scheduled to graduate Feb. 17. The MTF of the month for September is from the 335th TRS. The MTF from the 334th TRS earned top honors for the third quarter of the year. The MTF of the month scores the highest overall in areas such as marching, physical training, room inspections, open ranks, Airman's Manual, charge of quarters and retreat. The flight receives a roving sign to put in the front of its squadron to recognize its achievement. The MTF of the quarter receives $1,500 for its building for sports equipment, pool tables, air hockey tables and other morale and welfare enhancements. The training group MTLs judge the squadrons and maintain scoring throughout the month.
