WESTFIELD – The 104th Fighter Wing graduated 39 enlisted members from the Community College of the Air Force with Associates in Applied Science in a variety of fields. The CCAF program is an accredited college that allows airmen to receive credit for their Air Force training while working toward a degree in their Air Force Specialty Code.
“The CCAF degree shows professionalism in their Air Force career and allows them to convert their Air Force skills into a degree,” said Col. James Suhr, 104th Fighter Wing commander. “They remain focused, attending college and aligning their goals of completing a degree. I am proud of our Airmen leading the way through education and serving their country.”
Tech Sgt. Lauren Gallagher, Inspector General’s office:
Gallagher’s first CCAF was in Aviation Maintenance Technology, 27 Sept 2013. She was in the engine shop from 2007-2015.
“I feel that education is a vital part of personal and professional development,” said Gallagher. “It was important for me to earn because I want to set myself up for success and opportunities within the military, as well as, the civilian world.”
“I am very much honored to have now earned my second CCAF degree,” said Gallagher. “I know I will be utilizing these credentials when I transition back to the civilian workforce, even if it is 15+ years away. This program provides a great service for Airman pursing their desire to start or enhance their skills and education.”
