Connecting with Our Community | Choctaw High School Coin Toss

Col. Kendrick Carroll, commander of the 552nd Air Control Wing, and Col. (ret.) Charles DeBellevue joined Choctaw High School for a special coin toss, bringing together members of the local community and Air Force leaders for a great night of high school football.

Opportunities like this are about more than a pregame tradition. They give us a chance to connect with our neighbors, support the students and families in our community, and strengthen the relationship between Team Tinker and the communities that surround us.

Thank you, Choctaw High School, for the opportunity to be part of the evening, and best of luck to the students, athletes, coaches, and families throughout the season.

The 552nd Air Control Wing gave military children a firsthand look at what their parents experience as they prepare to answer the call of duty during Operation Falcon Punch.

Through hands-on activities and mission-focused experiences, the children stepped into their parents' world, learning about the teamwork, preparation, and dedication it takes to support the Air Force mission.

The event also gave Airmen, families, and volunteers a chance to come together, have fun, and show military children how important they are to the 552nd ACW team.

Military children face many of the same challenges that come with serving, from deployments and long hours to schedule changes and time away from their parents. Operation Falcon Punch allowed them to better understand the mission while recognizing the strength, flexibility, and support they provide every day.

Thank you to the Airmen, volunteers, and families who made Operation Falcon Punch possible, and especially to our military children who continue to serve alongside their parents as an important part of our Air Force family.

Airman of the Week: A1C Ashleigh Gray
A1C Ashleigh Gray is this week's Airman of the Week for her initiative, technical expertise, and dedication to the 552nd Maintenance Squadron. When a $20,000 liquid oxygen cart became non-mission-capable due to a damaged manifold and a parts shortage, Gray led a four-person team to overhaul the system using serviceable components from two demilitarized carts. Her efforts enabled seven maintenance actions and returned 11 LOX carts valued at $220,000 to service, reducing her team's workload by 16 man-hours.

Gray joined the Air Force to serve her country, gain new experiences, and set a positive example for her siblings. One of her most memorable experiences has been volunteering through the Home Away From Home program and supporting more than 500 military families at Operation Homefront events. Looking ahead, Gray hopes to pursue aerospace engineering or run her own organization, with Japan or England as a dream destination.

Airman of the Week: SrA Jake Nichols
SrA Jake Nichols is this week's Airman of the Week for his dedication, leadership, and commitment to the 963rd Airborne Air Control Squadron. While balancing the demands of his instructor upgrade, Nichols continues to excel as the unit's UFAC leader, overseeing PT testing guidance, proctoring tests, and tracking program data. His willingness to mentor others, share his expertise, and take on additional responsibilities has helped the UFAC program meet standards while strengthening the Airmen around him.

Nichols joined the Air Force to be part of something bigger than himself, serve his country, and develop the discipline and leadership skills that will shape his future. He values the friendships and experiences he has gained from serving alongside Airmen from different backgrounds who come together to accomplish the mission. Looking ahead, Nichols hopes to commission as an officer, take on greater leadership responsibilities, and continue mentoring and developing Airmen.

A1C David A. Jimenez is this week's Airman of the Week for his leadership, initiative, and commitment to his fellow Airmen at the 552nd Training Squadron. While still an ART student, Jimenez served as lead sponsor for 18 new Training Group Airmen, dedicating 40 hours to helping them navigate housing, transportation, more than 120 briefings, and medical appointments. He also earned the squadron's “Workhorse" and "Golden Dumbbell" awards, facilitated weekly squadron PT sessions, mentored new Physical Fitness Leaders, and volunteered as an official PT test observer, strengthening unit morale and readiness.

Jimenez joined the Air Force to advance his career, develop new skills, and better serve his family and community. He credits completing MOAC alongside other Tinker selectees as one of his most memorable experiences, particularly the relationships he built along the way. Motivated to become a better man each day for his family and fiancée, Jimenez says he is living his dream, with Kadena Air Base as an assignment he hopes to experience in the future.

The 552d Air Control Wing hosted its Honorary Commanders for an immersion and luncheon at Tinker Air Force Base, Aug. 24.

The visit began with an immersion briefing that gave honorary commanders an overview of the wing's mission and capabilities. The group then took a static tour in Dock 2, where they could see the mission up close and engage with 552 ACW Airmen.

The immersion concluded with lunch in the Continuous Process Improvement room inside historic Building 230, giving wing leaders and community partners another opportunity to connect and strengthen relationships.
