Squadron presented fourth Outstanding Unit Award hi a row By RAY LIGHTNER Journal Staff Writer On Friday, the men and women of the 653rd Combat Logistics Support Squadron were presented the unit’s fourth consecutive Air Force Outstanding Unit Award. “It’s great recognition for outstanding work,“ said Col.

Gen. Andy Busch, commander of the 402nd Maintenance Wing, “I get calls, I get positive feed back from Southwest Asia,” said Busch. That work alone compiled 62,000 man-hours and saved worldwide customers sl6 million in labor costs. The squadron also deployed the first-ever joint Air Force and Army combat convoy movement control team redeploying more than 114,000 personnel on 2,560 Air Mobility Command mis sions, transporting 2,528 pallets weighing more than 10 million pounds. “Our mission is supplying the warfighters,” said 653rd Combat Logistics Support Squadron commander Maj.

Pointing out while some working parents have trouble fit ting in involvement with their children’s school, “Homework completion is where a parent can really connect.” Mike Mattingly, Assistant Superintendent for Teaching and Learning, joined in. “We find that many par ents haven’t established a routine with their children, ” he said. “The kids have TV DVDs and Playstations in their rooms. The parents don’t know whether they’re doing their homework or not.” Starting at middle school, parents can check on their children’s homework and progress in school through Smart Web, an online sys tem designed for a close connection between teach ers and parents about stu dent performance and prog ress.

What all three agreed on is that a child’s success in school depends on the adults in that child’s life working together. “We need consistency between the home and the school,” Dawsey said, add ing a little wistfully, “Once it was between the home, the school and the church.” Once children are in their desks with their books open, teamwork is still important O’Dell, pointed out that the basic emphasis of pub lic education has shifted through the nation’s his tory.
