Congratulations to Staff Sgt. Robert Hartley, 5th Civil Engineer Squadron, for earning the 5th Bomb Wing Own It Award for the month of July. Hartley has epitomized the 5th BW commander’s vision of mission ownership. He distinguished himself by utilizing unconventional means to acquire a training system for the Air Force Power Production school house at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas. After hearing that the Air Force Civil Engineer Center was looking for a new training aide for pipeline and advanced troubleshooting schools, Hartley realized Minot AFB had an asset scheduled to be demolished at the old air traffic control tower and quickly coordinated with project managers, contractors, and the AF Civil Engineer Center to setup the removal and shipment of our excess emergency system. Hartley then led a team of five Airmen to remove the generator and automatic transfer switch from the air traffic control tower, repair it, and prepare it for shipment to Sheppard AFB. His innovation in recovering this equipment saved the Air Force $80,000 over new purchase price, and doubled the training assets available for 750 Power Pro pipeline and advanced troubleshooting students annually.
