What distinguishes Senior Airman Hartnett from his peers?
“Senior Airman Hartnett is a hard worker, quick learner and an outstanding reliable performer.  Upon arriving at Edwards AFB Fire Department, he was enthusiastic to learn everything he could to better this department and contribute to the mission.  He soaked in all the information he could from his co-workers and made sure to become a mentor and role model for new military being assigned after his arrival. He made sure new personnel were given quality information to become successful members of Team Edwards.  Bradley continues to be one of our go-to trainers for the military personnel.  As an Airman, his customs, courtesies, dress and appearance are always impeccable; this sets a positive example for peers and junior firefighters.  He personifies what the AF expects from its young Airman as he strives to develop himself and those around him with professional qualities that enhance the Air Force.”
