ALBEQUERQUE, New Mexico (KTVZ) -- Gerrit Spatz, a United States Airman from Bend, Oregon, recently was honored as Kirtland Air Force Base’s Tiger of the Week for his critical role in keeping KAFB networks secure and mission-ready!
Tiger of the Week is an award that recognizes Airmen for their stellar performance done within their units’ and their career fields.
Airman 1st Class Spatz is currently stationed at KAFB, New Mexico and is assigned to the 898th Munitions Squadron. He works as a Cyber Defense Operations specialist (1D7E).
