                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JOHN GARAMENDI

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 10, 2023

  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker pro tempore, I rise today to recognize the 
contributions of Technical Sergeant Callie Aberin as she is honored as 
one of California's 8th Congressional District's Women of the Year.
  Callie enlisted in the United States Air Force in 2012 and now serves 
as a Technical Sergeant at Travis Air Force Base. She was selected as a 
Senior Instructor at the Air Mobility Command's largest Airman 
Leadership School, where she educates, mentors, and certifies front-
line supervisors on leadership skills, interpersonal skills, and 
behavioral theory. Her leadership in these positions have fortified 
strategic objectives in the personnel of Travis AFB. In addition to her 
official duties, Callie serves as the local Air Force Sergeant's 
Association Chapter President, and advocates for improved quality of 
life and economic fairness for all military personnel. Under her 
leadership, this organization surpassed membership goals by 217 
percent. This community service has extended beyond Travis AFB and into 
the surrounding community where she has helped raise money for causes 
such as the Solano County Law Enforcement Torch Run and the Special 
Olympics. Callie was recognized as an NCO of the Year for the 60th Air 
Mobility Wing, Travis AFB Instructor of the Year in 2022, and ASFA's 
2023 International NCO of the Year. Callie's dedication to her 
community and her country deserves recognition, as she goes above and 
beyond her official responsibilities to advocate for military 
personnel.
  On behalf of the people of California's 8th Congressional District, 
it is my pleasure to honor and recognize Callie Aberin for her positive 
contributions to our community.
