Staff Sgt. Lisa Vincelette
IMA Chaplain Assistant
72nd ABW Chapel staff

Sergeant Vicellette is an individual mobilization augmentee activated to fill a critical shortage in chaplain assistants when four active duty assistants were not available for duty.

Supervisors say she performed duties two to three stripes above her grade. She helped the chapel staff with preparation for the operational readiness inspection, appropriated and non-appropriated money -- all while "doing the work of four people." She provided leadership for the chapel's Unit Control Center during night shift operations for the ORI. Sergeant Vincellette worked with the senior Protestant chaplain to streamline the Government Purchase Card program.


Dorothy Roberts
Wing Chaplain Secretary
72nd ABW Chapel staff

Ms. Roberts was an "outstanding team player" during the Operational Readiness Inspection. She answered all inspectors chapel questions for the ORI. She also kept the chapel's suspense/prayer-log.

Ms. Roberts works with Tinker senior leaders on a regular basis and many other on and off base organizations while organizing chapel responses to requests. She positively impacted more than 35 different groups. She also filled in as the 72nd Air Base Wing commander's secretary.

Chaplain (Capt.) Scott Nupson
Senior Protestant Chaplain
72nd ABW Chapel staff

Chaplain Nupson provided leadership during the ORI, keeping chapel staff focused on mission accomplishments and support to all of Tinker AFB. His "lean-forward attitude" paid off when the wing chaplain became ill and missed the first two-days of ORI. He met every challenge with zero lapses in coverage of chapel responses to events. He prepared a chaplain's assistant to man deployment function during chaplain's absence. His efforts led to him being named "Outstanding Performer." He scheduled duty chaplain coverage, including Navy and activated Reserve chaplains, to meet the crisis and spiritual needs of Tinker's community through 29 prayer requests and 10 emergency calls.
