The Team Andersen Linebacker of the Week recognizes outstanding enlisted, officer, civilian and total force personnel who have had an impact on achieving Team Andersen’s mission, vision and priorities. Since the start of his employment in 2015, Quintanilla has hit the ground running. After quickly finishing his basic firefighting training, he continued to strive for excellence and within eight years, he worked his way up to his current rank as a lead firefighter, an achievement that usually takes 10 to 12 years for others to achieve. Quintanilla also strives for his crew’s readiness by ensuring his fire truck is in full operation and conducts daily crew chief proficiency training. Recently during the 36th Wing Operational Readiness Exercise, he was selected and coined as a superior performer for his dedication to the mission and his department.
