Both received high-level awards during the Airman Leadership School’s graduation ceremony at Peterson-Schriever Garrison, May 6.
Senior Airman Abigail Martin, a French horn player for the Academy Band, earned the distinguished graduate award, and Senior Airman Robert Rybicky earned the John Levitow Award.
“I was surprised I was selected only because my class proved to be extremely intelligent, thoughtful Airmen who contributed greatly to the discussions presented in class,” said Martin, from Johnsburg, Illinois.
“I have a few professional and personal opportunities I would like to overcome in the year to come, but I know one that is coming is the opportunity to have more responsibility in my squadron,” she said. “I look forward to continuing to prove to myself, my colleagues and my leadership that I am someone they can rely on.”
