Serving in the Air Force is important to me for many reasons. One of them being we are only a small percentage of our nation's population. Anyone who can step away from the crowd and contribute to a cause greater than themselves is a unique individual. For me, to be in this small percentage, preserving our history and ensuring our future is a great thing. What accomplishment during your Air Force career are you most proud of? I haven't been in for very long, so this list is pretty small. I can say one of my resolutions is to achieve a least one epic moment for myself every year. What are your personal and/or professional goals? My professional goal is to give the most effort I can to the best of my ability in everything I do. Rather than let the bad outweigh the good, I've been trying to keep a positive attitude. I want to learn the most I can with my job and be able to apply it confidently. My personal goals are to pursue higher education as soon as I am able. I also want to travel much more this year! What is your favorite part of your job? My favorite part of the job is the sense of accomplishment I get when I assist a customer through something. Whether it's something I've never dealt with before, or a situation I may have handled numerous times. It's a great feeling to get a "good job," or see everything work out smoothly, especially if a positive outcome was somewhat doubtful at first.
