Senior Airman Hobbs gets ride of lifeBy Senior Airman James Regan
Courtesy of The SeagullMaster Sgt. Kevin Eccleston calls it a “ terrific chance for
unit members to earn a once in a lifetime opportunity.”Senior Airman David Hobbs said it was “awesome ... the
best ride on anything that moves ... ever.”Both men are excited and both have good reason to be.On Oct. 21, Airman Hobbs became the first wing member
to qualify for a ride in the F-15 Eagle through the AIR
Program - An Incentive Ride. With this program, unit mem-bers who refer three individuals, who enlist with the 102nd,qualify for an hour-long incentive flight. A preflight briefing,presentation in life support, use of the virtual reality para-chute simulator, and a debriefing also are included.
Individuals who enlisted after September 2003 can countthemselves toward the three needed for a flight.The samegoes for anyone who reenlisted after that date.
“We pulled 9 Gs! It was awesome!” said Airman Hobbs,out of breath. When asked if he would do it again, he didn’thesitate, “in a heartbeat.”
Sergeant Eccleston, a production recruiter, shares thatenthusiasm. “This program works because the commandersupports it. If people just put a little effort in, they could endup flying high. This is better than any bonus I could offer.People need to realize millionaires couldn’t buy this experi-ence”.
Adopted in September 2003, the AIR Program providesunit members with the chance to a take flight. Before this,incentive flights were reserved for award winners.
“They’re helping out their unit, not just the recruiters,”
Photo by Tech. Sgt. Sandra NiedzwieckiSenior Airman David Hobbs gives a thumbs-up before hisF-15 incentive ride with Capt. Sean Halbook last month.
added Sergeant Eccleston. “Who cares about pencils andFrisbees compared to this ride? No one does.”
For more about the program, contact the 102nd Recruit-ing Office at (508) 968-4994.
Career advisor wasn’t sure about jobBy Senior Airman James Regan
Courtesy of The SeagullTech. Sgt. Ellie Brosseau gets a distinct gleam on her face
when she talks about being unit career advisor for the 102ndCommunications Flight.
Smiling, her hands adding motion to the already ani-mated explanation of her position, she said, “The program, Ithink, is a really good one, when used properly. When peopleget actual, real attention from their supervisors that doesn’thave to do with discipline, it’s amazing what it will do forpeople.”
Because of her fine work, in October, Sergeant Brosseauwas presented the Unit Ca-reer Advisor of the YearAward by Col. PaulWorcester, wingcommander.
Her enthusiasmfor the job is some-what of a contrast forsomeone who hadreservations abouttaking on the addi-tional duty.
“When (SeniorMaster Sgt.)Andy (Heckler) ap-proached me, he saidthe person needed tobe outgoing and talk-ative. I said to my-self: ‘You gotta bekidding me!’ Half ofthis flight doesn’tknow who I am! Iwork in telephone closets andclimb on roofs. When theysee me, its usually tofix something.”
Sergeant Heckler thoughtotherwise.
“She has high moral stan-dards. You can see it in herson. I thought she’d betheperfect person to hand outadvice.”
As a 28-year veteran of the armed services, SergeantBrosseau certainly has enough experience to give advice.
After joining the Air Force, she worked as a crew chief forthe 509th Bomb Wing at Pease Air Force Base, N.H. Afterusing the Palace Chase program to transfer into the 157th AirRefueling Wing, also at Pease, as a traditional guard member,she joined the 102nd in 1982. While working as an informa-tion assurance specialist on the weekends, she was a main-frame help desk technician for Putnam Investments in Bos-ton.
“I couldn’t make tech sergeant because they didn’t havea slot. So, I went to the retention office and said I’d like to stayin this place, but not if I’m going to spend the next 10 years
as a staff sergeant.’”That experience
has helped her whenshe has talked to oth-ers in her job as acareer advisor.“That’s one of thethings that’s interest-ing about being a unitcareer advisor, it’snot always about notliking your job.Sometimes it’s aboutwanting to makemaster sergeant ... Iget to help people ma-neuver their wayaround.”
“Mid-career Air-men start havingquestions about fam-
ily support and family readiness. These types of thingsencourage enlisted people and their supervisors to worktogether and resolve issues. It can encourage supervisors tobe a mentor and provide information.”
Sergeant Brosseau works full-time in the Communica-tions Flight as an information technology specialist. Shelives in Wareham with her son, Barry, who is a freshman atWorcester Polytechnic Institute.
As a single parent, she’s familiar with some of the issuesmilitary personnel have. “I prefer the term ‘unmarried’ ratherthan divorced” she said, laughing.
