• 57th FIS CHOOSES NOMINEES FOR MEN OF YEAR: Senior Master
Sergeant Richard G. Buxton and Master Sergeant Joseph H. Kent
have been nominated by the 57th FIS for two of the Air Force's
highest yearly awards.
SMSgt. Buxton was nominated for the Outstanding Airman of
the Year, 1971. He was lauded by the Commander of the 57th
FIS, Lt. Col. Thomas Sawyer, for his qualities as a technician,
leader and manager.
SMSgt. Buxton's leadership talents and willingness to be-
come involved with "people" have been applied not only at a
squadron level, but they have also had far-reaching effects
throughout the NATO base. He was appointed the AFI represent-
ative to a special, fact-finding, problem-solving board under
the direction of the Commander, Keflavik Naval Station. This
board was wholly responsible for major operational and facility
improvements of the "Viking-Polar-Arctic" Club complex, which
benefited most of the Keflavik military-civilian community.
MSgt. Kent was nominated for the Maintenance Man of the
Year, 1971.
In nominating him, Lt. Col. Sawyer said that Sergeant Kent
is a model supervisor and is unquestionably the most knowl-
edgeable F-102 technician in the squadron. Sergeant Kent was
cited as a compassionate individual who takes a sincere in-
terest in each person assigned to his section.
As a member of the Squadron Human Relations Council, MSgt.
Kent has been an active participant in solving people-problems
affecting the squadron.
The 57th nominees will now be considered by the 21st Air
Division along with others from the division.
