Airman 1st Class Zydet Short is part of the 436th Comptroller Squadron separations and retirement team. Short was hand-selected as a cashier, processing and maintaining 100 percent accuracy of $7.5K; vault daily balancing and ensuring the global mobility mission. When not at work counting cash, Short dedicates her time to the families of Dover Air Force Base and the Dover community. She volunteers with the Air Force Sergeant Association, men's shelter, and family fun days. She was appointed as the Treasurer for the Unit Advisory Council in her squadron. Short is truly deserving of being the Airman of the Week.
