MOUNTAIN HOME AIR FORCE BASE, Idaho --  Officials with the 366th Mission Support Squadron recently named the following Airman as their Warrior of the Week.

Tech. Sgt. Ebony Stepp

Unit and duty title: 366th MSS readiness NCO

Time in Air Force: 13 years

Time at Mountain Home Air Force Base: One year, 10 months

Hometown: Niagara Falls, N.Y.

Hobbies: "I like spending time with my husband and children, boating, and working out."

What service does Sergeant Stepp provide to the Gunfighters? "I conduct base-wide briefings for deployments, reunion, reintegration, and other services offered through the Airman and Family Readiness Center."

Interesting personal fact: "I love to ride a motorcycle. It helps me clear my mind and relax."

Most memorable Air Force moment: "I was STEP promoted to technical sergeant I will never forget the day I thought I was going to be chewed out in front of my entire flight by the wing commander (Brig. Gen. Snodgrass). However, it turned out to be one of the most memorable days and achievements in my military career. I will never forget that day and the experience."

Why does Sergeant Stepp deserve to be a warrior of the week? "Within the last four weeks Sergeant Stepp has helped more than 400 Gunfighters and their families prepare for deployment. Her attention to detail and outstanding attitude comes across as she tells families what to expect during their deployment and post-deployment.

"Her portfolio highlights two Community College of the Air Force degrees and an undergraduate degree in business management. In addition to managing two children ages two and 11 months, she is pursuing a master's degree in health care administration.

"As the go-to person for the squadron she is always willing to help out whenever needed. She authored an operating instruction and organized 40 volunteers to assist with the lost child facility for the Gunfighter Skies 2008 air show. Her efforts in support of our Gunfighter families do not go unnoticed and I am proud to have her on our team."
