March 2012 Silver Talon SpotlightHonor Guard Member of the Month

Tiffany M. JohnstonHometown: Woodland Hills, Calif.Organization: 71 LRSDuty Title: Logistics PlannerTime on Silver Talon Team: 11 months

What has been the best part of servingon the Silver Talon team? The best part has been meeting other team members who share a patriotic mindset and performing details with them that mean so much to the requesting party.

What do you enjoy about the Air Force? I love the fact that in the Air Force every day may be potentially different from the last. There are so many places that you may travel and many career opportunities that you wouldn’t necessarily come by if you were not in the military.

Off-dutyinterests:Iliketoreadandworkoutinmyfreetime.Ialsolovetofindcrafty,outofthenormclasses to take with friends.

Do you have any words for those who would be interested in joining the Silver Talon Honor Guard Team? Do it! I would suggest that everyone join the Honor Guard Team once in their Air Force career. It’s a meaningful experience.
