189th Airlift Wing Public Affairs
An Air National Guard master sergeant in the Arkansas Air National Guard’s 189th Airlift Wing was named the top supply senior NCO in the reserve component recently.
Master Sgt. Shawn Fahey, a material management craftsman, earned the award as a customer service representative in the Guard’ 189th Logistics Readiness Squadron. On the job, he monitors bench stock requirements and priority mission capable parts.
His efforts helped supply beat the Air National Guard standard of non-mission capable supply rate of 3.2 percent. The 189th LRS rate is 1.4 percent.
He monitors two supply software programs — MICAP Asset Sourcing System and Enterprise Supply Solutions — sourcing, requisitioning and tracking more than 200 high-priority parts each month.
He’s a combat-proven veteran who served a tour in Southwest Asia last year. While overseas, he led a 12-person inventory team as it accounted for some 56,000 assets worth $52 million. His team’s efforts resulted in a 99.5 percent inventory accuracy rate.
With 22 years between active duty and Guard time, he’s seen and done a lot. He started his Air Force career as a jet engine mechanic on F-100 engines for the F-15. He spent four years on the job before he retrained to be a C-130 flight engineer.
After a year as an engineer, he decided his heart wasn’t in it, so he retrained into supply. With a year as a supply technician under his belt, he left active duty during the 1991 drawdown because the career field was overmanned.
He joined the Arkansas Guard and served as a power production journeyman for 10 years until a full-time opportunity in supply came open.
