Time in the Air Force: Two years and four months

What service does Airman Colwell provide to the Gunfighters?

Interesting personal fact: "I just found out I'm going to be a father for the first time!"

Most memorable Air Force moment: "Performing snow removal during the 2007 and 2008 winter season. It was negative 20 degrees outside and the diesel fuel was freezing in the equipment. We worked non-stop 12 hour shifts on nights until the snow was cleaned up."

Why does Airman Colwell deserve to be a warrior of the week? "Airman Colwell deserves to be the warrior of the week because no matter what he is tasked with, I can always count on him to get it done without any delays. He always goes above and beyond in everything he does!"

Interesting personal fact: "I used to surf every day before joining the Air Force."

Most memorable Air Force moment: "Going inside the chemical defense training facility at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., and being exposed to real chemical warfare nerve agents. It was training, but if you made a mistake, you could be seriously hurt."
