He entered the Air Force

as an Aerospace Ground Equipment

From

personality and exceptional communicative skills to become a Field Training
Detachment Instructor. His next stop
took him halfway around the world to Misawa Air Base
Japan
. His
strong work ethic and dedication were evident as he trained the airmen under his
charge. He finished his outstanding
career here at Eglin, where the 33d Nomads have grown to respect and
admire TSgt Moore.
From the start Jeff laid the foundation for an outstanding career.
At his first duty assignment the Flight Superintendent stated “Amn
Moore’s dependability and versatility have made him one of the most productive
airmen in the branch”. Jeff’s
impeccable management of the fuels program garnished an excellent rating from
the HQ USAFE Unit Effectiveness Team. As
Jeff progressed through the ranks, his efforts did not go unnoted; while
participating in a deployment, his unwavering support was lauded by the Officer
in Charge as “Best AGE support ever”. Upon
his selection to the NCO preparatory course, Jeff continued to work his magic,
chosen as one of the Distinguished Graduates.
While training our airmen as an FTD instructor, he earned the
Instructional Achievement Award for teaching over 1100 hours in one year.
As an AGE Production Support Specialist, Jeff’s supervisor stated “An
absolutely outstanding NCO and AGE technician; the cornerstone of the AGE
support section”. Once the
squadron heard of the many talents of TSgt Moore it was only a matter of time
before they found a vacancy for him. He
was handpicked to be the Resource Advisor for the largest squadron on Eglin Air
Force Base. Later he was recognized
as a Superstar, while earning the 33d fighter wing Resource Advisor of the Year
for 2000 and 2001 consecutively.
