ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. -- The “Put your hands together ...” feature is a monthly installment to the Robins Rev-Up.
Due to the overwhelming number of awards people at Robins receive, we just aren’t able to cover them all. This feature is our way of ensuring we give credit where we can.
PYHT will run in the last issue each month.
To have an award included in the feature, submit a brief write up of the award and the people who have earned it. Photos may be submitted, but space is limited. Submissions should be sent as a word document; photos should be .jpegs to 78ABW.pa.office@us.af.mil.
For more information, contact Geoff Janes at vance.janes@us.af.mil or by phone at 468-6386.
