First Knight Published Dec. 29, 2008 PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. -- Tech. Sgt. Herb E. Mosier, Jr. was selected for this week's First Knight award. This award is designed to recognize outstanding Airmen each week for the work they do every day. Name: Herb E. Mosier Jr. Unit: 12th Space Warning Squadron Duty Title: Missile Warning Crew Chief Time in service: June 8, 1995 Time assigned to the unit: June 4, 2008 Hometown: Ewa Beach, Hawaii Hobbies: Listening to music, going to concerts. Favorite music: Just about anything but lately I've been listening a lot to Hold Steady's, "Life is Positive". Last good movie: Wall-E was probably the best movie I've seen this year. Last good book: Fiction: Crooked Little Vein by Warren Ellis. Nonfiction: Imperial Life in the Emerald City by Rajiv Chandrasekaran If you were Chief of Staff of the Air Force for one day, how would you change the Air Force? The CSAF is busy and this seems trivial, however, I would order a moratorium on DEERS recalls. Before reinstatement a study would be completed to see if leadership could get the same information by simply waiting for people to report on family members impacted by natural disasters. Also, the study will look at the man-hours spent to perform a recall and the impact the recalls have on morale. Why selected: "Tech. Sgt. Mosier is responsible for scheduling for a multinational team of Space & Missile Operators, ensuring 24-hour, 365 day-a-year manning for the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System. He is a dedicated and experienced leader making positive impacts with every challenge he encounters. He is an ideal mentor for subordinates and peers alike and is entrusted with the unit's most critical crew force management responsibilities. He is absolutely indispensable to the success of this unit's war fighting mission." Master Sgt. Joseph Stratil, 12th Space Warning Squadron Operations Superintendent
