1st QUARTER OF SUPERVISION
for
Airman First Class Johnny O. Franco
95th Security Forces Squadron / S3OC
1100 Spaatz Street
Altitude AFB CO 80263
Time Period: January through March
You are SSgt Nightingale, a brand-new Staff Sergeant with four years time in service. You are a
Response Force Leader/Patrolman on Charlie Flight at Altitude AFB, Colorado (AFSPC).
Additionally, you’ve just picked up your first subordinate, A1C Johnny Franco, immediately
following his initial duty station training for Security Forces training and FTAC. The unit
trainers gave you positive feedback on Franco’s performance well before his first day on flight.
They shared with you that he jumped at the chance to earn all of his less-than-lethal
certifications. He volunteered to go through Baton, Taser and OC pepper spray when the AFI
only requires one tool.
This is Franco’s first duty assignment since graduating from technical training school and he
seems to be enjoying his time in the Air Force as a 3P031, Security Forces Apprentice.
He is a six-year enlistee and from the moment he arrived on station, he’s proven to be an
exceptionally driven and professional worker. He is single, and the oldest of five kids from a
military family. He looks up to his father who was wounded in action during his second tour of
duty in Iraq.

2nd QUARTER OF SUPERVISION
for
Airman First Class Johnny O. Franco
Time Period: April through June
Since your initial feedback with Airman Franco he has completed half the first volume of his
CDCs, and attended the PTL training course and is already leading PT sessions for your flight.
A1C Franco finished his first duty position qualification test on Response Force Member with an
outstanding 96%. He didn’t stop there; he helped two of his flight mates pass their duty position
evaluations and then he volunteered to get certified on Alarm Monitor duties because the flight
was shorthanded.
A1C Franco has been relentless in his pursuit of excellence. He completed the rigorous and
challenging training for his second duty position and scored a perfect 100% on his Alarm
Monitor evaluation. He is one of only four certified Airmen on the flight and this new duty will
allow him to have a more flexible duty rotation. He worked with another airman on flight to
build new Alarm Monitor training binders for trainees and he included step by step visual aids
for using the new Alarm equipment. He stepped up and trained another four of his flight mates
on their duties as Alarm Monitor and all four passed their duty position evaluations. His efforts
pushed the flight’s average to a 98% pass rate for duty position evaluations, the highest in a year.
You were pleased when he completed his CDCs a month ahead of schedule and scored a 96% on
the unit mandated CDC pretest. He went on to score an outstanding 95% on the end-of-course
exam. The Commander awarded him with a 1-day pass and a certificate of achievement during
Guardmount.
Since your initial feedback, you are very pleased with Airman Franco. He consistently shows up
to Guardmount at least 15 minutes early and always passes his uniform inspections. Over the
past six months, A1C Franco has been going non-stop since arriving to flight and he recently
joined the squadron soccer team. He hopes to lead the team to the first ever championship for
the squadron and he spends time training with the team after work and on some of his days off.
Your flight worked at the local area Special Olympic Games escorting athletes and A1C Franco
seemed to enjoy it the most. He escorted an eight year old track athlete to all of his events. He
looked proud standing next to his athlete during the medal ceremony when his athlete took home
the gold for the 100-meter sprint. Throughout the day, both of your athletes spent time together
at many of the track and field events. That’s where you learned that your airman’s youngest
brother, Antonio, has Down’s syndrome and volunteering for the event helped Franco deal with
the homesickness he was feeling. Franco shared with you that he misses helping his little brother
and taking him to his sporting events. He asks you if he can take leave at the end of August to be
with his family when Antonio starts Kindergarten. You tell him that there is still room in the
leave request book, but he’ll have to request leave quickly before the deployed Defenders return.
A few weeks go by and Franco is still working hard on flight. He responded to an alarm at the
wing headquarters building, set up initial security with his leader, and then conducted a sweep of
the perimeter. The alarm was caused when an escort official failed to secure the door to the
command post. A1C Franco authenticated with the Command Post via face-to-face contact and
the situation was resolved. The flight chief complemented him on his exceptional use of tactics

and safety during the incident. The next work cycle, the commander handpicked him to guard a
Protection Level 1 aircraft. The Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) was stopping at Altitude Air
Force Base en-route to an overseas location. The SECDEF coined A1C Franco for his attention
to duty and security of the aircraft.
Proving his efficiency not only on the job, but in the community, he organized a four- person
team to participate in the 6-hour multi-sport, Rock2Rock adventure race. Because of his
motivation and leadership his team placed 1st out of 26 teams in this grueling adventure race
between Monument and Colorado Springs, Colorado. He returned from the race excited to lead
flight PT sessions on his own and continued to motivate his flight mates to increase their fitness
and endurance. A1C Franco recently volunteered to be part of the dormitory council and was
surprised when he was voted in as the president. Their first order of business was to request
approval to turn the largest dayroom into a 24-hr satellite fitness center for shift workers living in
the dorms. He routed the request to the wing commander and was excited when the wing
commander approved their request. A1C Franco and his dormitory council members received
four lightly used treadmills, two spin cycles, and a cable machine from the fitness center to start
their satellite fitness center. Furthermore, the council organized several car washes, which
collected over $1200 towards floor mats, balance boards, medicine balls, and free weights.
Thanks to the council’s hard work, the new satellite fitness center is open for business and over
60 dormitory residents are using the fitness center on a regular basis after duty. His team from
the Rock2Rock race developed a training schedule to augment their flight’s PT schedule and
they helped six Defenders improve their run time by two minutes to pass their assessments with
above 90.
A1C Franco continues to present great ideas for helping his fellow Airmen and he hasn’t
forgotten about his personal development. He volunteered to attend the Unit Deployment
Manager’s Pallet building and weapons custodian training so that he may perform these duties
for his UTC while they are deployed. He also completed all of his 5-level tasks in the CFETP
ahead of schedule and immediately started working on his pre-deployment requirements. He
knows that he will deploy early next year and he wants to be ready. He seems to have a full plate
both on and off duty and you hope that he isn’t over-tasking himself. You’ve talked with A1C
Franco about finding balance so that he doesn’t experience burn-out and he assures you that he
can handle his time and dedication to his on- and off-duty activities.
Later that week, the NCOIC of the Combat Arms section notifies you that he failed his M-4
qualification course and will have to re-qualify at the end of the month. You sit him down to
discuss the failure and he tells you that he went straight to night-firing after running the 5K with
the running club. He told you that he fired expert all the way through tech school and he doesn’t
want to fail again. He assures you that he will get enough rest before the re-qualification. At the
end of the month A1C Franco successfully passes the re-qualification course. You are happy that
he passed, because now he can work security again while flight manning is low. Additionally,
the squadron Commander directed the flights to work a four-day on and two-day off, 12-hour
shift schedule to prepare for the impending Operational Readiness Inspection (ORI). The base
has six weeks before the IG arrives and wing wide recalls are happening on a weekly basis. A1C
Franco was tasked to process the mobility line during the base exercise and his initiative with
finishing his pre-deployment training paid off when his training records were reviewed. The
inspecting official could not find any write-ups on Franco’s records and furthermore, the entire

UTC’s records were in order with zero discrepancies. He remained motivated throughout the
exercise and even stepped up to train the 20 augmentees on challenging procedures. He went on
to earn the professional performer award from the wing IG during the deployment phase of the
base exercise.
You are very pleased with A1C Franco’s overall performance. He continues to work diligently
on flight during the stressful 4 on 2 off 12 hour shifts and he continues to step up to train the new
flight members with their training. Yesterday he provided funds escort for $20,000 between the
Base Exchange and the Bank. The money reached the cashier’s cage of the bank without
incident. Later that week he scored another 100% on his no-notice Alarm Monitor evaluation.
The Standards/Evaluation technician was impressed by his performance during a simulated
catastrophic alarm failure at a Protection Level 1 resource. A1C Franco’s quick thinking and
correct use of the required checklists enabled the flight to recall enough personnel to guard the
perimeter fence line at the resource. His cool demeanor under pressure was something the
evaluator had never seen from a young Airman. He received a 2-day pass from the commander
for his perfect score and was handpicked to be the senior Alarm Monitor during the ORI.
With all of his training tasks out of the way, you tell him to take some time off to recharge. You
approve his leave request for the end of the month and he seems excited to go home to Tampa.
Meanwhile the squadron first sergeant calls A1C Franco into his office. The first sergeant tells
A1C Franco the Airmen are constantly failing the dorm inspections and he thinks A1C Franco
and his dorm council can motivate the Airmen to clean their rooms properly before the reinspection. A1C Franco immediately conducts a dorm call that afternoon in the courtyard and
reminds them about the recent improvements to the dorms, including the new fitness center and
recent installation of the WIFI network in the west dayroom. That afternoon Franco leads the
dorm residents in cleaning the rooms and common areas in preparation for the second inspection.
The next morning all the first sergeants and supervisors conduct the inspection and find only
minor discrepancies.
Finally, he enrolled in his first college class and earned a “B” and 3 semester hours in college
algebra. This boosted his confidence and motivated him to take more college classes. He also
volunteered to attend the five-day honor guard training in hopes that his duty schedule would
change to allow him to participate in funeral and retirement details.
You are so impressed with his recent performance that you decide to submit him for Airman of
the Quarter.
