NAME: Master Sgt. Maquel McRae

UNIT: 189th Operations Support Squadron

POSITION: Training Manager

HOMETOWN: Cheyenne, Wyoming

TIME ON STATION/ TIME ON SERVICE: 18 Years / 24 Years

CORE VALUE: SERVICE BEFORE SELF

McRae exemplifies Service Before Self by ensuring the Airmen are taken care of before her own needs. On several occasions, she worked after duty hours to get last minute formal training request processed to meet short notice deadlines so that members would get a seat in formal training class. Her efforts prevented service members from waiting an additional week to complete their test.
