Face of Defense: Marine Takes Service to New Heights

Staff Sgt. Robert Hofmann, an instructor with the Marine Corps Communication-Electronics School, also serves as an assistant deputy commander with the Palm Springs, Calif., Civil Air Patrol's Composite Squadron 11, and was awarded the Gen. Charles E. "Chuck" Yeager Aerospace Education Achievement Award after completing CAP's Aerospace Education Program for Senior Members, Sept. 26. Hofmann, who joined CAP in 2008, said the best part about receiving the award is now he can use what he has learned to contribute to CAP's mentoring program for children and young adults ages 12-20.
