92nd Air Refueling Wing Public Affairs

7/13/2012 - FAIRCHILD AIR FORCE BASE, Wash. -- 

Name: Senior Airman Elizabeth Medellin Briseno

Unit: 92nd Air Refueling Wing Command Post

Duty Title: Emergency Actions Controller

Hometown: Lake Elsinore, Calif.

Years in Service: 4

Why I joined: For my education, to travel and meet new people

Family: I am a single Airman

Favorite aspect of job: Waking up commanders at 2 a.m. in the morning.

Hobbies: The gym, shopping and after a long day being able to go home and have a cold one.

Role Model: My Lita (Grandma), she is a strong woman and has been an important person in my life.

Most memorable Air Force experience: Getting orders to Rota, Spain

How do you make responsible choices: I take into account the effects my actions will have on my future.

Reason for nomination: Briseno is a rising star at Fairchild AFB. She is a recent cross-trainee as an emergency actions controller in the base command post. Briseno completed her emergency action certification with an outstanding 87 percent course average. Her skills as a new controller have led her to flawlessly perform command and control actions during recent local exercises testing the wing's strategic alert operations. As a junior controller, Briseno recently performed at a senior level by coordinating the delay of an Operation NOBLE EAGLE mission in support of homeland defense. She was on point as she coordinated all communication and planning to ensure the mission was a success. She is stand-out in the community, volunteering countless hours to the Big Sister program as a mentor to a disadvantaged youth. She also makes time to serve food to the homeless at a local church.
