Suggestion pays ca$h
According to First Lieutenant Diana
L. Bradley, the 932nd Aircraft Control
and Warning Squadron leads all Air
Forces Iceland units in energy conserva-
tion through adopted suggestions such as
one offered by Technical Sergeant Tommy
D. Harris.
TSgt. Harris submitted a suggestion
to eliminate the requirement to operate
two generator sets during high wind
warnings. Instead, an operator remains
in the power plant during these periods
and starts the generators as needed.
The suggestion is estimated to save
more than $3,500 in fuel costs per
year.
TSgt. Harris was awarded $230 for
entering his idea in the Air Force
Suggestion Program.
