4/18/2013 - BUCKLEY AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. -- The
deputy chief of staff for manpower, personnel and services recently
announced the 2012 award winners for the A1 community.
Three of the winners are from the Air Reserve Personnel Center:
Maj. Tim J. Martin - Force Support Reserve Company Grade Officer of the Year
Tech. Sgt. Richard G. Grybos - Force Support Reserve Component NCO of the Year
Senior Airman Iris B. Morales - Force Support Reserve Component Airman of the Year
As the chief of the program management branch, Martin was responsible
for all plans, programs, information technology, and project management
at ARPC. He instituted a voice prompt system to direct almost 1 million
customers to the correct work center, reducing dropped calls and caller
wait times. During his off-duty time, he completed three courses from
the Air Command and Staff College master's program, completed two
100-mile bike rides, and was president for Rolling Thunder Colorado
Chapter 1.
Grybos was responsible for drafting leadership guidelines for the
migration of the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System and
Real-Time Automated Personnel Identification System. As a result, the
Air Force successfully upgraded and transferred the Military Personnel
Data System to the Defense Information Systems Agency Defense Enterprise
Computing Center. During his off-duty time, he was vice president of
Buckley's 5/6 Association, Buckley's housing representative, and ARPC's
snow removal team leader.
Morales worked with more than 14,000 customers from the Total Force
Service Center, taking care of their personnel requests within five
days. Furthermore, she screened and updated more than 2,000 promotion
board records, ensuring records were 100% accurate. During her off-duty
time, she completed her Community of College of the Air Force degree in
Human Resources Management, completed a Master of Health Services
Administration, was president for the Junior Enlisted Advisory Council,
and was a mentor for troubled teens in the local community.
"The competition was fierce, and it was a difficult decision across all
of the categories," Lt. Gen. Darrell D. Jones stated in the announcement
letter. "We appreciate the commanders and supervisors at all levels in
taking the time and effort to nominate your people and programs, and
thank you for your continued commitment to everyday excellence in
serving our Total Force Airmen and their families."
