This week’s Wild Weasel of the Week (WWoW) is Senior Airman Alexis Syler, 35th Healthcare Operations Squadron emergency services technician.
Airmen selected as WWoW represent the top performers from across Misawa Air Base, recognized for their outstanding dedication, mission impact and embodiment of the U.S. Air Force core values.
Syler was selected to provide critical support at Kadena Air Base, where she trained eight medics on life-saving protocols and equipment procedures. Her efforts boosted medical capabilities by 40%, helping protect a population of over 20,000.
At Misawa, she played a key role in launching the base’s first Emergency Vehicle Operations Course (EVOC) for ambulance drivers. She dedicated over 80 hours to vehicle training, developed a competency assessment, and trained eight members on driving and 32 equipment items—enhancing interfacility transfer staffing by 10%.
“I take pride in what I do,” Syler said. “Driving the ambulance and caring for patients lets me play a vital role in the mission—and that’s what I love most. I also try to learn something new every day, whether it’s gaining knowledge or sharpening my skills.”
Outside of work, Syler enjoys cooking, hiking and staying active through a variety of hobbies. Her curiosity, energy, and commitment to growth reflect the same passion she brings to the 35th Fighter Wing mission every day.
