Wing NCO earns Air Force-level award

For Senior Master Sgt. Terry Wooldridge, being nominated for the 45th Space Wing-level award was surreal in itself.

But his emotions didn’t stop there. They were just warming up.

After winning here at the Wing level, he was next declared the winner of the Air Force Space Command Award, and then later was told he was the recipient of the “Air Force’s Outstanding Civil Engineer Manager of the Year” award.

That’s as high as an Airman can go.
