AROUND TINKER: 72nd ABW members honored with Wildcatter Awards Published July 8, 2016 By Tinker Public Affiars TINKER AIR FORCE BASE, Okla. -- Two members of the 72nd Comptroller Squadron were recently honored with Wildcatter Awards by 72nd Air Base Wing Commander Col. Stephanie Wilson. Since her arrival in August 2015, Airman 1st Class Pamela Yim has become the face of finance, briefing all personnel PCSing to Tinker. She is the primary point of contact for in-processing civilian and military personnel. Airman Yim personally scrutinized and submitted 342 travel vouchers for payment. She maintains the highest accuracy rate for volume at over 95 percent. When a co-worker deployed, Airman Yim took over as lead for working Defense Travel System entitlement reports and validated 685 members received the correct travel entitlements. She also corrected deployed entitlements for 79 members. Additionally, Airman Yim briefed 75 returning deployers and assisted 47 members with filing their DTS vouchers. Her contributions are a major factor in Tinker continuously meeting Air Force's less than 2 percent government travel card delinquency standard. She created over 100 cases where she worked with DFAS, AFPC and MPS to ensure timely resolution of Airmen's pay problems. Airman Yim's attention to detail led to her selection as a cashier, where she flawlessly accounted for $14,800 in payments and $2.1 million in collections. Vicki Hunt has performed her duties as a 72nd CPTS Financial Management budget analyst since January 2005. During this time she has flawlessly interacted with the 72nd ABW resources managers ensuring execution of the wing's $257 million budget. Her interpersonal skills are exceptional in a position that requires her to work with co-workers and fund holders throughout Team Tinker in a professional manner. Ms. Hunt is a team player and freely shares her expertise with the rest of the organization. Specifically, she went above and beyond to assist another section while the primary Funds Control person was on an extended TDY. Ms. Hunt provided expert training to personnel to bridge the gap during the absence and ensured zero disruption of CPTS mission and maintained the level of support expected by customers. She volunteered to process the On Line Vehicle Information Management System monthly report ensuring it was processed in accordance with regulatory timelines. During the absence of the FMAS section chief, Ms. Hunt took immediate action when the 552nd Air Control Wing Comptroller identified an issue with their accounting records. She researched the issue and immediately contacted DFAS for corrections. Her efforts resulted in the restoration of 5,639 accounting records within 24 hours with minimal disruption to the 552nd ACW mission.
