TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. --  

Squadron: 60th Air Mobility Wing 

Duty title: Safety Specialist 

Years in service: 22, (retired master sergeant), one year as a GS-employee 

Hometown: Ellington, Mo. 

Goals: "To advance my skills and knowledge of the USAF Mishap Prevention Program and secure a position within the Air Force as a ground safety manager."

Greatest achievement: "Personally; raising two children and professionally; while on active duty I served as the head of security at the USAF Wiesbaden Hospital, Wiesbaden, Germany for the returning 51 Iranian hostages."

"Mr. Albert has outstanding work ethic and goes the extra mile without being asked," said Noel Fagan, Ground/Weapons safety manager. "He strives to complete assigned work in a timely manner and his contributions to the safety staff have been a great asset. In addition to the Voluntary Protection Program database, he has created a Web-based motorcycle tracking program for all riders that has streamlined and improved the base motorcycle training program."
