Airman of Quarter
Jordan has done it again! Since joining the military in August of 2006, he has been rewarded for his good behavior time after time after time. It first started when I received a surprising phone call from our soldier when he was in basic training. As most of you know, when you’re in basic training, you don’t get any contact to the outside world. The only contact a soldier has to the civilian world are through letters that must be sent in plain white envelops. If you send…oh say an orange envelop…then the soldier will be humiliated and be forced to do several pushups in front of a large crowd of people. After several weeks of basic training, Jordan was able to make a few phone calls because he had exemplified good behavior. This may seem like a small reward to some of you, but this was a HUGE treat for Jordan. When he made it to Charleston, he was rewarded extra days off here and there for the very same reason…good behavior. Now he has been named Airman of the quarter for the 4th quarter of 2007! He found out he was nominated when he first arrived in Iraq and just recently discovered that he actually won this honor. It seems that Jordan has really found his niche in the military, and we could not be more proud of him!
