MISAWA AIR BASE, Japan --  Each week a member of the 35th Fighter Wing is selected as the Wild Weasel of the Week. This individual is recognized based on superior performance, outstanding work ethic, and overall good conduct and discipline.

The 35th Security Forces Squadron chose Senior Airman Jeremy Johnson, pass and registration clerk, from Stafford, Va., as its Wild Weasel of the Week.

What's your daily mission?
As a pass and registration clerk, my office processes entry authorization lists, base pass requests, restricted area badges and registers personnel and their families to our defense biometrics identification system. We hold a driving course every Tuesday and provide help with the process of transferring, junking and selling vehicles.

What do you enjoy about your job?
I enjoy the opportunity to work in an office that has a family-like feel to it, while being able to interact with customers that I otherwise wouldn't be able to.

Why did you choose to serve in the military?
I chose to serve for the educational benefits, the ability to travel, and to follow in my father's footsteps.

What is your favorite thing about being in Japan?
I love the culture. The people are friendly and helpful, and the festivals are awesome.

Who is your favorite mentor and what did you learn from him/her?
My father. He is knowledgeable, kind and strong. Over the years he's given me so much advice and is someone whom I wish to be like years from now.

Time in Misawa: 1 year 8 months

Time in military: 3 years 4 months

Goals you want to achieve or meet while in Misawa?
I plan to finish my third class here at Misawa, bringing me one step closer to receiving my Community College of the Air Force degree.

Supervisor's remarks:
"Senior Airman Johnson works hard to embody the core value of "Excellence in All We Do" through the customer service that he provides Misawa Air Base on a daily basis. He is a hard worker and willing to go above and beyond to learn a new aspect of the job. He has been working with us for about six months now and fit into our office family from day one. I know our office and the 35th Security Forces Squadron will be losing a huge asset when he goes onto his next assignment this summer." -Staff. Sgt. Kellie Johnson, 35th SFS NCO in charge of pass and registration
