Fiederer Schmidt Devlin Dodge 388th FW honors its top performers of the year BY MARY Lou CORNY Hilltop Times editor T he 388th Fighter Wing recognized its best at an annual awards banquet Jan. 29. Nine 388th FW members and one squadron were honored. All those so honored will be advanced to the 12th Air Force Outstanding Performer of the Year selection process except volunteer of the year. Any performer selected at that level will then advance to the Air Combat Command level and then be under consideration for Air Forcewide honors. Retired Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force Robert Gaylor spoke at the banquet and dedicated a portion of his speech to reflections on opportunities. He said, "Some of the best assignments I've ever had were not selected by me ... I look back now and I see some of the greatest things that ever happened to me I did not initiate." Gaylor urged Airmen to be open to all opportunities, before dismissing them. "If you abruptly say, 'No, I don't want to do that,' you may overlook one of the greatest opportunities of your entire lifetime," he said. Among his other remarks he also reflected on his passion for the Air Force. "There has to be a drive and a great passion for the Air Force, as well as a commitment to it as a way of life," Gaylor said.
