Warrior Highlights: "Lieutenant Fullenkamp is a highly effective and dynamic leader whose efforts have greatly enhanced AFRL and the Air Force. He is a highly motivated young officer who constantly displays integrity, service before self and excellence in all he does. From his brilliant leadership during the successful $120M turbo pump test program to his dazzling coaching skills for the Lancaster freshman girls volleyball team's 13-1 near perfect season, his 'Midas touch' has greatly enhanced AFRL and affects all he comes in contact with. He is an active leader with unwavering loyalty and optimism. His self-motivation and energetic personality inspire those around him and he has a way of bringing out the best in us all. I am proud to serve with him."
