TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. --  Tyndall's Staff Sgt. Christopher Cosby, 325th Maintenance Squadron maintenance armament team chief, earned the Air Combat Command Outstanding Armament Supervisor Award during the 2012 Maintenance and Staff Professionals of the Year banquet in Hangar 1 March 15.

The Memphis, Tenn. native said it was rewarding to be recognized for the award. It is given to recognize individual excellence in aircraft loading, armament systems maintenance and supervision of either operation.

"It's rewarding to be recognized and it was great to represent my squadron and flight," he said.

Sergeant Cosby has been in the Air Force for more than 10 years and has worked in the maintenance career field throughout his enlistment. His favorite part about his job is constantly learning new things.

"I have been in the maintenance field for 10 years," said Sergeant Cosby. "Nine years has been on the flight line and one year in the armament back shop"

The MPOY banquet recognizes the achievements of the maintenance group and honors maintenance professionals each year.

The original maintenance professional award was established in 1979 to recognize outstanding performance of direct, sortie-producing maintenance specialists. Support, training and staff personnel make vital contributions to effective sortie production. Tyndall recognized these important professionals in their diversified career fields.
