SHAW AIR FORCE BASE, S.C. --  Editor's note: The Warrior of the Week Program is a program designed to honor Shaw's service members who exemplify the Core Values.

This week's Warrior of the Week is Staff Sgt. Thyiatira Singleton, 20th Force Support Squadron Airman Leadership School instructor, from Boston, Mass.

She helps prepare Airmen for the NCO ranks.

"The best part is being able to mold future NCO's and reshape certain mind frames," she said. "Being able to be the example to them is extremely rewarding."

"Sergeant Singleton has also put in a tremendous amount of time as secretary of Shaw's chapter of the Air Force Sergeants Association and does phenomenal work with Crosswell Children's Home downtown," said Tech. Sgt. April Howard, 20th FSS Airman Leadership School instructor and Shaw AFSA president. "Additionally, she is an active member of Shaw's Group 5/6. Singleton is definitely a positive example of what an Airman should be."
