AF Seeks NCOA Award Nominations

Week of November 16, 2009

Air Force officials need nominations for the 2010 Noncommissioned Officers Association Vanguard Award. Nominees must be between the rank of senior airman and chief master sergeant who performed a heroic act, on or off duty, which resulted in saving someone's life or preventing serious injury. To be considered for the award, the act must be voluntarily initiated and not a result of directions or orders. It must also have been a legitimate attempt to save a life or prevent serious injury to another person -- not an act of bravado. To be eligible, the heroic act must have occurred between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2009. For more information on the noncompetitive appointment of certain military spouses, call the Total Force Service Center at 800-525-0102.
