SHAW AIR FORCE BASE, S.C. --  Congratulations to the following Shaw Airmen who were recognized as Diamond Sharp for the month of May.


Senior Airman Marcella Hengehold, Ninth Air Force Sharepoint administrator.

Hengehold is a Sharepoint expert, identified by various units. She aided Top III's Professional Development Committee by establishing a sign-up capability to their lunch-and-learn courses, which now allows attendees to personally sign-up for courses directly off the Sharepoint link, saving the person from personally responding and inputting 20 or more attendees per course.

She also created numerous sites from scratch including the Ninth Air Force's First Sergeants' page and fitness program links. Each site provides up to date information for unit members.

The Tawas, Michigan native joined the Air Force in September 2010. She enjoys working on computers and spending time with family.


Staff Sgt. Sonny Tanner, 20th Civil Engineer Squadron pavement and construction equipment craftsmen.

Tanner oversaw a base-wide cleanup effort in preparation for the visit of the newly appointed Secretary of the Air Force. His efforts ensured 75 miles of paved roads and 3,400 acres were prepped and clean prior to the distinguished visitors arrival.

Additionally, his superb craftsmanship provided precise placement of 13 cubic yards of concrete valued in excess of $1,900. His dedication, "can do" attitude, and superior technical competency set the groundwork for the construction of a cradle to grave Troop Training Project.

Finally, Tanner dedicates countless hours to Boy Scout Troop #342. His community involvement includes coordinating three community projects and providing critical mentorship for 15 scout members.

The Arcadia, Florida native joined the Air Force in February 2006. He enjoys working out, knee boarding, and hanging out with his family.
