Charles Jenkins, 27th Special Operations Force Support Squadron, third from left, display the Family of the Year award presented to them by Col. Ruedi Kaspar, far left, 27th Special Operations Wing vice commander and Chief Master Sgt. William Turner, right, 27 SOW command chief. According to Air Force officials, both NCOs, individually and as a family, focus on the needs of others: Master Sgt. Jenkins mentored Afghan National Guardsmen and taught female soldiers to read and write English; Tech. Sgt. Jenkins served on the Parent Advisory Committee for Mesa Elementary and refereed sports activities on and off base. These were just some of factors that were instrumental in their selection as Cannon’s Family of the Year, according to base officials.
