Doug Bryson, manager of the Thomas & Betts Corporation in Jonesboro, Arkansas, is presented the Employer Support of Guard and Reserve Patroit Award from Master Sgt Roger Eggers, HVAC technician in the 507th Civil Engineer Squadron, Tinker AFB, Oklahoma. Since Eggers moved from Oklahoma City to Arkansas in 2006 and began work at Thomas & Betts Corp., his employer made special provisions in his work schedule which allowed him time off on the Friday of UTA weekends to travel to Tinker AFB, Oklahoma and attend drill. Thomas & Betts Corp. also provides pay differential for deployed Guard and Reserve members to lessen economic hardship for their military employees. Eggers conveyed thanks to Mr. Bryson on behalf of the Air Force Reserve for his company’s outstanding support.
