Pam Cowns serves as Tinker’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Coordinator. She has worked in the SAPR office for five years, but has also spent time as a program manager for the F101 engine, worked with the C21 program and served in the U.S. Army for 28 years, retiring as a first sergeant. Cowns is originally from Mustang, Oklahoma, but calls Midwest City her home. She loves spending time with her children and five grandchildren. The main focus of the SAPR office is to care for victims of sexual assault and explain the reporting options they have. The SAPR Office has had to make changes to events scheduled for Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month, but their office is still open through this pandemic and one full-time staff member is in the office every day. The SAPR hotline (405-734-7272) is also operational 24/7, manned by the five full-time SAPR staff. Cowns like helping people. "I like being able to see how someone goes from being a victim to a survivor and then flat-out thriving in life,” she said. “It’s very rewarding to see that.” (U.S. Air Force photo/Kelly White)

Chaplain (Capt.) Felix Jones, originally from Bossier City, Louisiana, has served in the Air Force for eight years. Part of the Tinker Chapel’s COVID response is offering secure counselling virtually and manning the Latte Lounge daily. Jones says working with young people and Airmen is the best part of his job. "I've been in ministry for 31 years and this is my way of giving back to the Air Force. Having the opportunity to learn from young leaders in the Air Force and also helping to mold them is a great joy -- it's a passion of mine! To me, it's no greater job to actually pour into young people as they pour into you. It keeps you current, which is why I know a lot of social media things-because of them."
