Onken is a traditional guard member who works as a materiel management specialist in the 132d Logistics Readiness Squadron. Onken is a student at the Iowa State University where she plans to graduate with a veterinarian degree.

Master Sgt. Andrew Jenkins was selected as the 132d’s 2024 Senior NCO of the Year. Jenkins works in the 132d Operations Support Squadron as the Information System Security Manager. Jenkins is a prior munitions troop who just reached 20 years of service this summer.
Senior Master Sgt. Emily Hartman was selected as the 132d’s 2024 First Sergeant of the Year. Hartman serves as the 132d Wing First Sergeant. Hartman has over 20 years of service and is a substitute teacher in South Carolina.

Each year, Airmen from around the Air Force are selected to represent their commands as part of the annual Airmen of the Year recognition program.
Air National Guard nominees are first selected from their Wing, then an individual from each category is put forward from each state and region. Eventually only four submission packages from the 54 states and territories are selected as Airmen of the Year by the Air National Guard.
These Airmen are selected and honored from among 94,000 enlisted members in the ANG based on superior leadership, job performance and personal achievements.
