WR-ALC master sergeant receives First Sergeant of Year award

The 2021 Air Force First Sergeant of the Year award has been presented to a master sergeant in the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex at Robins Air Force Base.

Master Sgt. Crystal Bateman, 402nd Aircraft Maintenance Group first sergeant, was presented the award during a ceremony in San Antonio by Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force JoAnne Bass, Aug. 27.

First sergeants are a dedicated focal point for all readiness, health, morale, welfare and quality of life issues within their organizations. At a home station or in expeditionary environments, their primary responsibility is to build and maintain a mission-ready force.

Bateman believes taking care of people is her calling.
