Airmen shadow Eglin's senior leaders
EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. -- Airman 1st Class Gaby Akin, 96th Medical Support Squadron nutrition medicine diet therapist, works with Col. Bruce McClintock, 96th Air Base Wing commander, to splice a fiber optics cable together during a walkabout visit to the 96th Communications Group Jan. 30. Airman Akin spent the day shadowing the colonel as a part of the Shadow Week Program. Shadow Week, a quarterly program organized by Eglin's Junior Force Council, helps bridge the gap between Eglin's senior leaders and its junior forces by sharing Air Force experiences, life lessons and career choices. According to the intent of the program, shadowing a senior leader gives the junior force counterpart the opportunity to see their leader in action, as well as get advice on their own careers.
