U.S. Air Force Col. Johnathan Eccles, 81st Training Wing deputy commander, presents a certificate to Staff Sgt. Joshua Rapoza, 81st Civil Engineer Squadron station chief, during the Warrior of the Week presentation at Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi, March 11, 2026. While filling a technical sergeant noncommissioned officer in charge billet, Rapoza led a 16-member shift and expertly managed a $5 million vehicle fleet, ensuring 100% mission readiness and safeguarding $4.8 billion in vital assets. He orchestrated a flawless response during two major incidents by guiding a 10-person crew through a complex structure fire, protecting five lives and a $600,000 asset, and later directing the safe egress of three crew members from a C-130J during an in-flight emergency.
