Tech. Sgt. James Brandt

Unit and occupation:
Aerospace ground equipment instructor with Detachment 7, 372nd Training Squadron

Time in the Air Force: Nearly 13 years

What service do you provide to Gunfighters? "I teach aerospace ground equipment classes here as part of Detachment 7."

Hobbies: The sergeant enjoys outdoor activities like camping, hunting and fishing.

Most memorable Air Force moment: "I will never forget a field training deployment where I was in charge of site set up. There, I found our commander helping dig holes. He mentioned that everyone had to pull their weight for the mission to succeed. He filled in for some of the Airmen that needed a break in set up. This showed me that now matter what rank you are, you must take care of your troops."

Interesting personal fact: "In March 2007, I will be getting married."

Why does Tech. Sgt. James Brandt deserve to be nominated as a warrior of the week? "James is an outstanding NCO with a tremendous amount of initiative and self drive. His dedication to Detachment 7 and the 366th Fighter Wing mission at Mountain Home [Air Force Base] is exemplary. James sets the example for other Airmen by not only doing his job outstandingly well but by also looking for new ways to improve Detachment 7's mission."
-- Master Sgt. Ronald Boardman, detachment chief
