SOUTHWEST ASIA -- Staff Sgt. Brandon Hayden

380th Air Expeditionary Wing

Duty title: Wing Information Manager and Command Chief Master Sergeant Assistant

Home Unit: Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas

Hobbies: Playing guitar and spending time with my wife and daughter

Most fulfilling part of my job: Knowing without a doubt that my small part at the 380th AEW plays a big role in the Global War on Terror.

Supervisor's Comments: Sergeant Hayden has been a tremendous asset to AEF 1/2. He's everything a supervisor loves to see in a subordinate; trustworthy, dedicated, willing to go the extra mile, and active in improving himself personally and professionally. Sergeant Hayden adapted quickly to our fast-paced mission environment, while also working diligently to complete his 7-level career development course. He not only put his indelible mark on significant wing-level programs, but also earned a 93 percent on his CDC end-of-course exam; well above his career field's average EOC test score. Following the example of the many fine NCOs who have preceded him, Sergeant Hayden met all challenges head-on and has set the bar a little higher for those who will follow behind him.
