Airman's Creed is focal point of hallway project Published Sept. 10, 2010 By Susan Griggs 81st Training Wing Public Affairs KEESLER AIR FORCE BASE, Miss. -- A project by the 338th Training Squadron to spruce up a hallway in Jones Hall evolved into a tribute to the Airman's Creed. Fresh off of maternity leave, Staff Sgt. Ashley Campbell came back to the squadron to find Bryan Hall had been renovated with some nice decorative touches, thanks to Master Sgt. Kevin Brandon and his team. After speaking with Sergeant Brandon, Sergeant Campbell took on the project to give Jones Hall a fresh new look as well. "The project started out with painting the hallway's faux columns and the fire extinguisher boxes by eight Airmen awaited training assigned to that detail," Sergeant Campbell explained. "Of those eight, I handpicked Airman Shawn Tierney to paint a map, which later spread to the Airmen's Creed. "With a projector and steady hands, they did all the hard work totaling more than 500 man hours utilizing nearly 30 gallons of paint," she continued. "Everything is painted by hand, including the micro Air Force symbols." "After a few days, I realized the Air Force brought out an artist in me," said Airman Tierney, who hails from Kent, Ohio. "Next thing I knew, I was painting the Airman's Creed on a blank wall free-handed. It took quite a bit of time, effort, and patience, but I finished it just in time to start my cyber transport course at Bryan Hall. None of this would have been possible without Sergeant Campbell, who encouraged and motivated me throughout the project."
