Surprise, surprise

U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Cody Murray, 23d Maintenance Group HH-60 quality assurance inspector, receives technical sergeant stripes from Col. Billy Thompson, 23d Wing commander, and Chief Master Sgt. Frank Batten, 23d WG command chief, during a surprise promotion under the Stripes for Exceptional Performers program Nov. 13, 2012, at Moody Air Force Base, Ga. Murray did not feel well that morning and wasn’t going to make it to his unit’s staff meeting, but when he received grief from his leadership for not being there, he showed up to be notified of his new rank.
