Core Value Portrayed: "Service before Self"
How does the individual portray that core value? Goins has volunteered numerous hours supporting both 48th Fighter Wing and 48th LRS missions after hours.

What accomplishment during your Air Force career are you most proud of? I am proud that I was a part of a team that excelled during the Combined Unit Inspection, Operational Readiness Inspection and U.S. Air Forces in Europe Logistics Compliance Assessment Program inspections, which received ratings of Excellent.
What are your personal and/or professional goals? I would like to obtain a bachelor's degree in logistics management. My professional goals are to be selected for Senior Airman Below-The-Zone and to be promoted to the rank of Staff Sgt. during my first testing opportunity.
What is your favorite part of your job? My job provides me ample opportunities to deploy with the fighter squadrons during their exercises and deployments, which allows me to support their mission and travel Europe.
