Airman Yealick is a driver who has taken on the Equipment Support duties. This position is normally held by a staff sergeant and this very young troop has taken on this task with vigor. Why is serving in the Air Force important to you? Serving in the Air Force has given me the opportunity to be more driven toward getting my education, career and has allowed me to see parts of the world that I might not ever had be given the chance to see. I have had a great career so far in the Air Force and with that have met some of the finest people our country has to offer. It's just a great thing to do. What accomplishment during your Air Force career are you most proud of? I'm proud consistently serving my country, working to keep my family and friends safe from terrorism everyday, but the most experience that I'm proud of is having deployed down range for convoy duty, and what I learned from the experience. What are your personal and career goals? I want to finish work on my CCAF degree, and continue being the best example to others that I can be, and personally one day would like to settle down by having a family of my own, and just be happy with whatever I decide to do in the later part of my life.
