U.S. Air Force Col. Ryan Garlow, left, 100th Air Refueling Wing commander, returns a salute to Staff Sgt. Jason Richardson, 100th Maintenance Squadron resource advisor, after recognizing him as the ReaDy Airman of the Week at Royal Air Force Mildenhall, England, Dec. 4, 2024. Richardson received recognition for his ability to pursue effective cost oversight and make strategic oriented decisions, including executing $220K of the 100th MXS' unfunded request for quality of life upgrades and infrastructure needs for the newly established True North facility; purchasing mission critical equipment to include an aircraft vinyl stencil machine, which is vital to the KC-135 Stratotanker nose art revitalization process; and procuring a forward-looking infrared camera that saved maintainers 2,500 man-hours in troubleshooting annually.
