This award will be presented at the Grand Hotel in Biloxi, MS on March 19th 2003. TSgt Six is also a recipient of 121st ARW Environmental Quality Award.

TSgt Six hosted open house vendor sessions for the base in which vendors came and demonstrated environmentally friendly products. He has been instrumental in the implementation of using re-refined engine oils, recycling used antifreeze on site and re-reclaimed JP-8 that cannot be used in the aircraft to be utilized in AGE equipment.
