SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. --  Air Mobility Command officials announced Oct. 25 it's nominee for the 2010 Air Force Language Professional of the Year award.

Tech. Sgt. Ahmad M. Adi, from the 62nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash., is AMC's nominee for the award. Sergeant Adi is versed in two languages and was "pivotal" in supporting his unit on a recent deployment.

"His outstanding enthusiasm for the mission and unrivaled professionalism led to his selection as the linguist department noncommissioned officer in charge," stated the announcement for his nomination from Headquarters AMC.

Managing a 41-member team, he coordinated "around-the-clock" manning support for 2,400 linguist support requests and translated 700 high-priority documents while maintaining 100 percent department coverage with five less personnel assigned than previous deployments, the announcement stated.

"We wish Technical Sergeant Adi best of luck in the Air Force-level competition," AMC officials said.
