Macon’s 202nd EIS Gets First Female Commander

Georgia Air National Guard Lt. Col. Deborah J. Nazimiec made Guard history this past month by being appointed the first female commander of Macon’s 202d Engineering Installation Squadron. This new assignment marks her return to the unit where she was the first female to be commissioned by the 202nd in 1989. 

Nazimiec succeeds Lt. Col. William Day, who has been appointed commander of the 283rd Combat Communications Squadron stationed at Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Marietta.
Nazimiec received her commissioned through the Air National Guard Academy of Military Science. She holds a graduate degree in management and an under-graduate degree in electronic engineering technology. 

After being commissioned Nazimiec served as officer-in-charge of the 202nd’s Wire Section from August 1989 to July 1993. She was then selected to serve as an information management officer at Headquarters Georgia National Guard, from July 1993 to May 1996. Nazimiec was later appointed commander of 116th Services Flight at Robins Air Force Base from May 1996 to September 2000. In September 2000, she was selected to serve as inspector general for the 116th Air Control Wing, also stationed at Robins.
