ROYAL AIR FORCE ALCONBURY, England --  Five tribase members received diplomas conferring masters degrees in a 9 May ceremony at Royal Air Force Alconbury.

The degree recipients represent the JIOCEUR Analytic Center, The Intelligence Fusion Centre in Support of NATO, The DIA Regional Support Center at RAF Molesworth, and the Airman and Family Readiness Center at RAF Alconbury.

The University of Phoenix and University of Oklahoma graduates included JAC members Staff Sgt. Leilani Van Etten (Master of Arts with an emphasis in International Relations), and Ms. Karen Spurgeon of MPRI (Master of Arts with an emphasis in International Relations). From the RSC Mr. Terry Buxton of Computer Sciences Corporation was awarded a Master of Business Administration, and from the IFC Ms. Brianna L. Huot also of CSC gained a Master of Arts with an emphasis in International Relations. Mrs. Christina M. Wilson of the RAF Alconbury Airman and Family Readiness Center (and spouse of LCDR Michael J. Wilson of the JAC) was presented a diploma for a Master of Human Relations.

These diplomas recognize several years of hard work toward the degree while working fulltime and/or raising a family - a big achievement. They join with over thirty other tribase members who received bachelors degrees from the universities or earned Community College of the Air Force associate degrees in their chosen field under the sponsorship of the RAF Alconbury Education Center.
