Unit and job title: 47th Civil Engineer Squadron, NCO in charge of Readiness and Emergency Management Flight

Why she XLed: Flores displayed great flight leadership by revitalizing a duty tracker and boosting task completion 100 percent, despite being only 50 percent manned. She absorbed Unit Deployment Manager duties during a contractor’s absence, oversaw 12 deployers and received zero write-ups from the wing. She also completed six credit hours toward her bachelor’s degree in Human Resources while maintaining a 3.4 grade point average.
