Airmen train, maintain warrior factor Published Jan. 17, 2008 By Senior Airman Carl Berry 434th Air Refueling Wing Public Affairs GRISSOM AIR RESERVE BASE, Ind., -- The winners of the Project Warrior Award for the final quarter of 2007 were the 72nd Air Refueling Squadron, 74th ARS, 434th Maintenance Squadron, 434th Operations Support Squadron, 434th Maintenance Operations Flight, 434th Mission Support Flight and the 434th Services Flight. The award is presented to the units with a "Warrior Factor" of 95 percent on the metrics for the previous quarter. In recognition of receiving the award, units will receive and display a 'W' on their unit signs and are allowed to sign-out one hour early on the final day of the unit training assembly at their commander's discretion. Readiness is a group effort that begins at the command level and flows down to the individual and back up again, program officials said. Before every UTA, Master Sgt. Cinthia Webb, 434th SVF technician, prints out a worksheet for each team member in her unit that has all of the training that needs to be completed. "In Services team leaders follow up and make sure that all training requirements are completed," said Master Sgt. Timothy Wood 434th SVF food supervisor. "A lot of work is needed to be done and we only have two days to finish so everyone must stay on task," he added.
