Chief Zwelling earned three associate degrees, including applied-science degrees in construction technology and personnel administration, from the Community College of the Air Force.

He completed the Senior Enlisted Joint Professional Military Education Course at Joint Forces Staff College, Norfolk, Va., and he is a graduate of both the USAF Senior Noncommissioned Officer Academy at Maxwell AFB, Ala., and the Chiefs Leadership Course.

During his nearly three decades of service, Chief Zwelling has been awarded a Meritorious Service Medal with four oak-leaf clusters, an Air Force Commendation Medal with one oak-leaf cluster and an Air Force Achievement Medal with four oak-leaf clusters.

He was named distinguished graduate of Air Force Reserve Recruiting School at Lackland AFB, Texas, and was named lead recruiter of the year in 2002, 2004 and 2005.
