Oklahoma Army National Guard members tested their skills in the fourth annual Mechanic of the Year competition at the Combined Support Maintenance Shop in Norman, Oklahoma, on Feb. 22 and Feb. 26-27, 2025. The event brought together full-time and drill-status mechanics, highlighting the Guard’s commitment to excellence in vehicle maintenance and sustainment. Participants rotated through technical challenges designed to mirror real-world maintenance scenarios, reinforcing their ability to keep military equipment operational. Leaders emphasized that the competition not only identified top talent but also fostered collaboration and professional development among maintainers. By sharing best practices and refining their skills, Guardsmen strengthened unit readiness and the overall effectiveness of the Oklahoma Army National Guard.

About Moody Bridge Chat

Bridge Chat's purpose is to create cohesive, high-performing teams that foster trust and connection through flexible and consistent small group discussions; in direct response to overwhelming feedback from the CSAF 21's Resilience Tactical Pause.

Caring for our Wingmen is what defines us as Airmen, so we must work to get to know our teammates and the challenges they face. We all have the same responsibility of creating the workplace we want and supporting the people we share our lives with.

Bridge Chat topics are posted here monthly to encourage small group discussions within teams. Beginning the process of recurring discussions can be difficult, but will become easier with time and reinforce the Flying Tiger culture.

To help us initiate and facilitate these discussions, we have included a guide that defines roles and ground rules.

The Flying Tiger Bridge Chat Facilitator provides facilitator trainings for base personnel. Their goal is to create squadron facilitators who take action on ACC's goal of equipping, engaging and empowering Airmen with resilience tools and create high-performing teams who look out for each other. To schedule training, contact 229-257-3211.
