Commander's/Supervisor's Comments: "As the 354th Fighter Wing's fuels accountant, Liz has a tremendous responsibility. She monitors over $31 million worth of annual fuel contracts and ensures all transactions are processed to the Defense Energy Support Center for prompt billing. During Red Flag-Alaska 07-03 she processed over $7 million worth of fuels transactions with zero discrepancies. Her service-before-self attitude propelled the 354th LRS fuels resource control center to the it's best RF-A processing rate in the past two years."
