The two-week school proved to be a breeze for 148th Fighter Wing Airman Staff Sgt Brianna Westendorf. Taking home all the highly coveted awards offered for participants of the course, the Commandants Award, Distinguished and Academic Achievement awards. This undertaking is highly unusual for someone to take home all three, Westendorf willing offers words of encouragement to her methods to her National Guard peers that may be soon attending the school.
“I would tell someone to embrace going outside their comfort zone,” she offers “It wasn’t always easy being the only guard member and feeling like an outsider, but in the end, it was worth it and I learned a lot and made great friends. Also, I would tell someone that it isn’t always easy but to stay focused and work hard and they will succeed.”
