Colonel Vicki Fair, Tribune native, retires from Air Force

Colonel Vicki Fair retired from the United States Air Force on November 1, 2019, having served our country for a total of 30 years. During this time, she served both on active duty and in the Air National Guard. Her final active duty assignment was with the Air Force Medical Operations Agency, Joint Base San Antonio (Lackland-Kelly) Texas. At this assignment, she served as the Education and Training Consultant for the Air Force Surgeon General and was the Senior Program Manager for the Education and Training Division. In these two capacities, she provided guidance on education and training as well as organizational competency, to 76 Air Force Medical Treatment Facilities (i.e., hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and clinics) across the United States and overseas, where 44,000 medical personnel (military, government civilians, and contractors) provide enhanced health care to over 2.6 million beneficiaries.

Colonel Fair was born and raised in Tribune, Kansas, where she graduated from Greeley County High School in 1973. She is the daughter of Donna Murphy and the late Carl Murphy. From 1974 to 1982, she served as an enlisted member in the United States Air Force, the Colorado Air National Guard and the Kansas Air National Guard. She was trained to perform duties as a medical laboratory specialist, a histopathology specialist, and an operating room specialist, and she reached the rank of Staff Sergeant. After obtaining her Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree

in 1982, she worked for two years in the civilian sector. Then, she received a direct commission into the United States Air Force Nurse Corps and served from 1984 through 1990. From 1991 to 2001, she worked again in the civilian sector, while being retained on the Air Force inactive reserve status list, before returning again to active duty in June 2001.

Over her times in the Air Force Nurse Corps, she obtained a certification in Ambulatory Care Nursing and was certified as a Nurse Executive. She worked in a variety of nursing specialties: orthopedics; intensive care; mental health; pediatrics; primary care; internal medicine; and education and training. Additionally, she was competitively selected for a special assignment to the Air Force Institute of Technology to pursue a dual graduate program, in which she earned a Master of

Science degree and a Master of Business Administration degree. As she was promoted in rank, she served in a variety of leadership positions to include: Element Leader at Tinker Air Force Base (AFB), Oklahoma; Chief, Group Education and Training at Tinker AFB; Flight Commander, Primary Care at Buckley AFB, Colorado; Deputy Commander, Air Force Element Medical, Department of Defense at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland; Medical Squadron Commander at Royal Air Force (RAF) Alconbury in the United Kingdom; and Deputy Chief, Education and Training Division, at the Air Force Medical Operations Agency at Joint Base San Antonio, Texas.
