Though the FMS world ramps through tremendously fast, the general acknowledged the challenge by then- Secretary of the Air Force, Deborah James, to go even faster. In order to achieve that, the stability needs to improve and be maintained. Furthermore, the general discussed the importance of improving Security Cooperation Officers, who are a critical element in helping partner nations develop and establish their needs and requirements. “SCOs must be acquisition savvy,” he said. “It’s really important that we implement a process to pick and train our SCOs so they’re properly equipped.” Providing better training across the board, and working on initiatives that provide better stability are priorities that work towards another 10 percent reduction, resulting in an overall 50 percent reduction in cycle time.

Currently, she leads the largest aircraft maintenance group in the Air Force, but Theresa Farris is no stranger to high pressure, high intensity and demanding roles. A seasoned Tinker veteran, Ms. Farris has worked on the installation in some capacity for 33 years. Growing up in a military family, she was constantly exposed to various cultures and was not limited or confined to one place. Having experienced that kind of diversity and always being able to collaborate with others, it’s no surprise that the deputy director GO BIG for the 76th AMXG has excelled in various working environments. But for Ms. Farris, whose goal is to be humble and approachable, she did not aspire to lead the Air Force’s largest aircraft maintenance group. “Nobody is more surprised and humbled than I am,” she said. The deputy director inherited an interest and a passion for aircraft at an early age watching her father, a retired senior master sergeant in the Air Force, as an avionics mechanic for the B-52.

This DiMaggio guy really has it.” The purpose of DiMaggio and most other big leaguers playing on the military teams from the commander-in-chief’s opinion was to keep the regular troops entertained, as well as keep public morale high. World War I had put an end to the baseball season in 1918, and President Roosevelt believed it was important for the country to keep baseball going in World War II. An exception, the great Ted Williams, fought as a Marine combat pilot in World War II and Korea. DiMaggio was assigned to Special Services and stationed at California’s Santa Ana Air Base. The only major league player on his military team, he and his teammates played against semipro clubs, local college teams and Pacific Coast League teams. DiMaggio reached the rank of sergeant in August 1943. To ensure the professional players had some time overseas, DiMaggio and other major league players were transferred to Hawaii in spring 1944. In time, the best military baseball players were stationed in Hawaii. Big names like Johnny Beazley, Joe Gordon, Pee Wee Reese and Red Ruffing, along with DiMaggio, were split into different teams. DiMaggio joined the 7th Army Air Force team, which played a nearly full major league schedule, while serving as a supply sergeant. The day after he arrived in Hawaii, he played for the Hickam Bombers and blasted a 435-foot home run out of Honolulu Stadium.

Truman, signed the National Security Act of 1947 on board the Sacred Cow on July 26, 1947. This act established the U.S. Air Force as an independent service, making the Sacred Cow the “birthplace” of the U.S. Air Force.” The fourth and likely most widely known reason is the C-54 carried tons of essential supplies, mainly coal, during the Berlin Airlift. The Berlin Airlift was a sustained effort to supply the population of Berlin in 1948-1949 as the Iron Curtain was imposed when the Soviet Union tried to forcefully annex the city. Thirty-eight C-54s were heavily modified with the removal of fuel tanks and amenities as they were converted into airborne coal-carriers with the designation C-54M. The DC-4/C-54 was successful as an airliner until it was quickly replaced by larger, faster aircraft as jets came of age. Despite this, many of the aircraft were put in to service as low-cost transports, freight haulers and aerial firefighters around the world.
