MOUNTAIN HOME AFB, Idaho --

Unit and occupation: Resource advisor with the 366th Mission Support Group

Time in civil service: 18 years

Time at Mountain Home Air Force Base: 14 years

Hometown: Miami, Okla.

Hobbies: "I enjoy camping, gardening and bowling."

Most memorable Air Force experience: "I can't think of any one moment, but probably the one with the most satisfaction is working deployment requirements for the group to ensure personnel are equipped and protected for their real world missions."
What service do you provide to Gunfighters? "I oversee an $8 million budget execution for the 366th MSG and act as the sole purchasing agent for DCUs and related equipment for all MSG deployers and ensure funds are available to meet both home station and deployed missions."

Interesting fact: "I'm very passionate about the U.S. Flag and National Anthem. I lived in Turkey for two years and it made me realize just how blessed we are to be Americans."

Why does Ms. Elrod deserve to be a warrior of the week? "Ms. Elrod is a phenomenal group-level resource advisor and financial analyst. She serves a pivotal role as the group's primary representative to the financial management office in identifying requirements and sourcing the funds needed to provide base and operational support throughout the wing."
