Senior Master Sgt. Philip Kreiser is the winner of the Air Force's outstanding aviation resource management instructor award for 2007. 

Sergeant Kreiser, superintendent of the 334th Training Squadron's aviation resource management course , "demonstrated outstanding leadership that significantly impacted the career field by overseeing two formal courses," said his commander, Lt. Col. Doug Chowning. 

"His intense focus on the betterment of his career field was key in being awarded $50,000 towards a new aviation resource management training simulation under the Air Force's Education and Training Technology Applications Program." 

The sergeant led a seven-member team responsible for training 384 students, and he personally spent 600 hours in the classroom during the year. He was the catalyst for Keesler's groundbreaking interactive multimedia instruction course and launched and taught AETC's first aviation resource management chief's course.

"I work with a great team and share credit for this award with them," Sergeant Kreiser said.
