MOUNTAIN HOME AIR FORCE BASE, Idaho -- Officials with the 366th Services Squadron recently nominated the following individual as one of the base's warriors of the week.

Staff Sgt. Kari A. Yale

Unit and occupation: Fitness supervisor with the base fitness center

Time at Mountain Home Air Force Base: Three years, four months

What service do you provide to Gunfighters? "I provide knowledge to help others live a healthier and more fit way of life in an exciting and motivating way."

Hobbies: "I enjoy spending time with my two sons and my husband. I also enjoy swimming, reading Stephen King books, scrap booking, playing guitar, singing and dancing."

Most memorable Air Force moment: "When I made staff sergeant. I missed it the first two times I tested, and it hurt. When I finally did make it, it meant that much more for me -- more than if I would've made it on my first try."

What is an interesting fact about yourself? "I separate M&Ms by color and eat them starting with the pile that has the most M&Ms."

Why does Sergeant Yale deserve to be nominated as a warrior of the week? "Sergeant Yale is an outstanding NCO with a caring attitude and dedication to duty. She is a vital member of the fitness center achieving its first-ever five-star rating in the Air Force wide recognition. Her outstanding customer service and focus on 'fit to fight' programs are a win-win situation for our patrons and enhanced their mission readiness posture through a healthy lifestyle."
-- Maj. Anthony J. Lanuzo, 366th Services Squadron commander
