321st MS chef, artist paints mural Published Jan. 28, 2010 By Staff Sgt. Mike Tryon 90th Missile Wing Public Affairs F.E. WARREN AIR FORCE BASE, Wyo. -- Warren's 321st Missile Squadron is a more little colorful now, thanks to the vision of a talented artist. Senior Airman Stephanie Scarset, a 321st Missile Squadron chef, painted a mural paying homage to the Air Force Creed, the F.E. Warren mission and the Air Force mission. "I thought I'd be able to contribute to the squadron using the skills I have," Airman Scarset said. Working three to four hours at a time, the mural took Airman Scarset about six months to complete. "It took such a long time because I worked on it by myself, and it was so big," she said. She said she started with a draft that, over time, changed to meet her needs. "The main theme of the mural is the Air Force Creed, so I put that in the middle," Airman Scarset said. "I wanted that to be the focal point." Along with the creed, Airmen Scarset drew pictures of the Peacekeeper, Atlas and Minuteman III missiles, which have all been commissioned by Warren at some point in time. Below the missiles is the Air Force demonstration team, the Thunderbirds. "I chose the Thunderbirds mostly because I liked the way [their planes] look," Airman Scarset said. The opposite side of the creed shows a launched missile rising into the night sky, further showing the deterrence mission here, she said. "The antelope is there because, let's face it, they're a part of Warren," Airman Scarset said. "While you're traveling around the base, those are what you'll see." Out of all the artwork that she's done, this is the one she's most proud of. She said her squadron members are proud of both her and the mural. "It's definitely the biggest piece of work I've done," she added. Airman Scarset doesn't have any plans for additional artwork at the moment, but she's open to painting another. The missile alert facility she currently works at has a bare spot where a mural could go; however, right now there isn't anything in the works, she said. "If I do go out there and paint something, I'd like some help this time around," Airman Scarset said. "Painting something of that scale is hard work, and the more helping out, the quicker it gets done." Looking back on the project, she said she wouldn't change a thing. "I'm happy with how it turned out," Airman Scarset said.
