FAST Leadership Leads to Air Force Level Award

Master Sgt. Nicholas Whitney, 55th Security Forces Squadron, led a Fly Away Security Team (FAST) in Afghanistan from late 2015 to early 2016 that earned him the Air Force Outstanding Security Forces Senior Non-Commissioned Officer of the Year Award. While on deployment, Whitney's counterpart and friend, Tech. Sgt. Joseph Lemm, was killed. Whitney wears a braclet with his friends information on it to remind him of the good times with his friend and the sacrifice he made. (U.S. Air Force photo by Zachary Hada)
