ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. --  The Aerospace Sustainment Directorate and the 638th Supply Chain Management Group were rated "in compliance" in all areas examined in last week's compliance inspection.

The team from the Air Force Materiel Command Inspector General's office briefed the results to the organization on Monday. The possible results were "in compliance," "in compliance with comments" and "not in compliance," so both units had the best possible outcome.

"Our 'in compliance' assessment from the inspector general confirms to others what I get to see every day, which is approximately 2,400 professionals adhering to Air Force standards, and doing their jobs with very positive attitudes," said Col. Howard Davis, ASD director. "Each and every member of the ASD put forth a tremendous effort in preparing for the inspection, but it's no different than what they do every day."

In addition to getting an overall "in compliance" rating, all three squadrons in the 638th were found in compliance.

"I am very proud of the 1,200 Air Force Global Logistics Support Center team members at Robins in achieving an 'in compliance' during the inspection," said Bonnie Jones, 638th director. "This rating, the best we could achieve, is a direct result of a robust self-inspection program, the dedicated support of our men and women, and the integrated product focus we have with the Aerospace Sustainment Directorate. Together we did an outstanding job focusing on compliance and delivering support to the warfighter."

In the ASD, the F-15 Foreign Military Sales Team, F-15 Flight Data Recorder Team and Tri-Annual Review Team were rated as outstanding teams.

Outstanding performers in the ASD were Joseph Shanyan, Stephen Strawn, Valerie Smith, Evelyn Ryberg, Tina Myers and Kimberly Dickerson. Outstanding performers in the 638th were Timothy Keister and Tammy Tanner. David Burton in the 78th Logistics Readiness Squadron was also named an outstanding performer.
