"I'm incredibly impressed, amazed and proud of the work our team has done this year," said Col. Joe Wilburn, commander of Air Force Reserve Recruiting Service. "People who are the best at what they do make whatever it is they're doing look easy, even when it's extremely difficult. I feel the same way about these recruiters. They made a really tough job look easy. They're amazing."
Enlistee No. 10,500 was Steven Duplessis, who officially became an Airman at 9:42 a.m. The recruiter responsible for putting Airman Duplessis in boots was Master Sgt. Randle Mitchell, an in-service recruiter at Little Rock AFB, Ark.
