Staff Sgt. Natalie Floyd, 60th Air Mobility Wing dorm manager, was caught totally by surprise when 60th Air Mobility Wing Commander, Col. Joel Jackson, walked in on her staff meeting. It has come to my attention someone here is out of uniform, he said. A stunned and emotional Floyd was promoted to technical sergeant immediately, under the Stripes for Exceptional Performers program. Christmas came a little early for you this year, congratulations, Jackson said. Floyd is assigned to the 60th Civil Engineer Squadron. The dorm manager is a special duty assignment, in which she has far exceeded all expectations, according to Jackson. (U.S. Air Force photo/Ellen Hatfield)
