SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. -- Senior Airman Naomi Scott, from Dover Air Force Base, Del., earned second place in the Air Mobility Command Icon competition, Oct. 21, at Scott AFB.

Airman Scott was the base-level winner at Dover and earned second place among 11 competitors along with a $600 second place prize.

Based loosely on the television show "American Idol," AMC Icon is an AMC commander's initiative to showcase the vocal talents of AMC Airmen. Each AMC base holds Icon contests in July and August to determine their representatives for the command final which took place, Oct. 21.

AMC personnel assigned to Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve, en route and tenant units geographically separated from an AMC base compete under the "affiliate" category. However, personnel stationed on or near an AMC base enter the contest via the base-level talent competition.

"AMC has some exceptional performers and Icon is their opportunity to shine," said Mr. Sam Parker, Command Program Manager for AMC Icon.

Staff Sgt. Aisha Smith of MacDill Air Force Base, Fla., earned first place in the 2010 competition while Senior Master Sgt. James Warrick of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J., earned third place.
