Two members of the 85th Engineering Installation Squadron received annual awards for 2008 from Air Combat Command. 

Staff Sgt. Adam Campbell is ACC's airman of the year. 

While deployed to Balad Air Base, Iraq, Sergeant Campbell repaired 150 radar transmitter cards, enabling continuous control of 6,000 close air support sorties and expedited repair on vital search radar. 

He received Airman Leadership School's John Levitow Award at Airman Leadership School and was involved with Meals on Wheels, organized a picnic for foster children and an ALS golf tournament, served as a Combined Federal Campaign representative and volunteered at the Biloxi Seafood Festival. 

Master Sgt. David Brown, who's now a first sergeant for the 334th Training Squadron, is ACC's first sergeant of the year. 

He counseled 51 deployers, was a unit control center leader during Hurricane Gustav, served as treasurer of the base's first sergeant council, chaired a local Head Start program and recruited three senior noncommissioned officers for undermanned first sergeant duty.
