SHAW AIR FORCE BASE, S.C. -- This week's Shaw Spotlight is Senior Airman Lazarion Brown, 20th Force Support Squadron food service journeyman.

Brown has been in the Air Force for four years and was assigned to Shaw, Dec. 20, 2008.

"Brown has always maintained professionalism and military bearing on and off duty," said Master Sgt. Tamika Carroll, 20th FSS dining facility manager. "It has been a pleasure to watch him grow from the shy, sometimes timid Airman he was when I met him, into the assertive, professional SrA he is now. I can always depend on him to get it done regardless of the task, and I know that because he takes pride in his name and supports the 20th FSS mission."
