Professional Performers

Organizations and leadership within the 31st Fighter Wing have a variety of programs through which they highlight base personnel for their outstanding contributions to the mission. This page features three of those programs including Aviano's Finest (provided through base leadership), the Chiefs' Choice Awards (provided by the Aviano Chiefs' Group), and the Diamond Sharp Awards (provided by the Aviano First Sergeants' Council).

Aviano's Finest

Aviano's Finest
Highlighting base personnel for the outstanding work they do is extremely important. The 31st Fighter Wing already highlights Airmen and civilian employees with the wing quarterly and annual recognition programs. The Aviano's Finest not only gives base leadership another opportunity to cast the spotlight on their personnel for their positive impact, professionalism and commitment to the mission, it gives readers an opportunity to learn more about the people assigned to the wing.

Members must epitomize service before self by working until the job is done and taking pride in their work. These Airmen strive for excellence both on and off duty, in the community and their personal lives.
