“Airmanitis” shares comedic glimpse at Team Misawa

“Airmanitis” is Team Misawa’s official comic strip written and drawn by U.S. Air Force Airman 1st Class Kelly Coats, a 35th Operations Support Squadron airfield manager, at Misawa Air Base, Japan. The comic strip started nearly a year ago from initial production discussion to actual implementation and shares the commander’s messaging in a humorous way that connects with Misawa personnel and their families. Not only does the comic strip increase the base’s overall morale, but is Coats’ stress relief and lends to her overall resiliency as a warfighter. (U.S. Air Force photo illustration by Tech. Sgt.
