2/14/2014 - YOUNGSTOWN AIR RESERVE STATION, Ohio -- Tech. Sgt. Ryan Wisniowski, a squadron aviation resource manager with the 757th Airlift Squadron here, is the 2013 Air Force Reserve Command Aviation Resource Manager  NCO of the Year.

Wisniowski is grateful for the recognition.

"To accomplish the goals I set for myself feels rewarding," said Wisniowski. "It's a great feeling to be recognized by my unit and AFRC for this award."

He believes it is important to strive for excellence and go above and beyond in his career field.

"Our core values are tested every time we put on our uniforms," Wisniowski said. "It's important we value them not only as aviation resource managers, but as Airmen in the greatest Air Force in the world. We need to provide the best customer service to our aircrew and we have to value service before self when the mission calls for it. We live in a fast-paced work environment and it's important we perform at the highest level for mission success."

Senior Master Sgt. Mary Mracek, 757th AS operations superintendent, said Wisniowski strives for excellence and that he stands out among his peers.

"Tech. Sgt. Wisniowski is truly one of the finest NCOs who displays superb character traits that others can emulate," said Mracek. "He is a well-rounded, hard-working NCO, an exceptional performer, team player, and I see him being a very successful SNCO for the 757th AS, the 910th Operations Group and 910th Airlift Wing in the future."

Wisniowski realizes the importance of his team and the support they showed to help him achieve his goals.

"We have an excellent Aviation Resource Management team here at Youngstown," Wisniowski said. "We are past winners of the Sergeant Millard D. Campbell Aviation Resource Management AFRC Small Team of the Year in 2010, 2011 and 2012. Everyone on our team played a role in helping me achieve this award. Thank you to all my wingmen who help support me, our team and our mission effectiveness this past year. We are all one team, one vision, one voice."
