"Tech. Sgt. Fraley is more invested in the personal and professional development of her Airmen than any NCO I have ever met. She is a true mentor and a great listener, always willing to give sound advice. Airmen of all ranks value her input and experience, which is evidenced by the fact that her office is never empty. She truly is one of Fairchild's Finest," said Master Sgt. Paula Barkhauer, the 92nd Medical Support Squadron superintendent, when asked why she chose Fraley as a Fairchild's Finest recipient.
