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 Airman 1st Class Jeffrey Empson, 20th Civil Engineer Squadron electrician, from Hinesville, Ga.

"Only being in the interior section for a week, Empson already became instant impact on the mission," said Staff Sgt. Tyree Glenn, 20th CES interior electrician. "He assisted in a critical install for power drops in the alert facility for secure servers, training software servers in a critical time crunch, the Link -16, Electronic Warfare Server, Radiant Mercury, and ICADS P-5 Live Monitor needed to be up and running within 24 hrs. This equipment directly supports the 20th Fighter Wing, 55th Fighter Squadron, 77th FS and 79th FS directly, and Air Forces Central."
