Liberty Spotlight: Staff Sgt. Warner Published June 29, 2015 By 48th Fighter Wing Public Affairs ROYAL AIR FORCE LAKENHEATH, England -- Name and Rank: Staff Sgt. Terrance D. Warner Unit: 48th Communications Squadron Duty Title: Quality Assurance Evaluator Time in Service: 5 years, 5 months Time at RAF Lakenheath: 2 years, 5 months Hometown: Riverside, Calif. Hobbies: Football, photography, video editing and traveling Core Value Portrayed: Service Before Self How does the individual portray this core value? Warner was submitted for a Liberty Spotlight by Mr. Wesley Bragg, 48th Communications Squadron chief of quality assurance, force development and training. According to Bragg, Warner exemplifies the Air Force core value of Service Before Self through his willingness to help the mission in whatever capacity the Air Force requires of him. During his three-year assignment with the Liberty Wing, he deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and provided communications support for exercise Eagle Resolve to our Gulf Cooperation Council allies. Even though he is in the midst of his preparations to separate from the Air Force and move onto the next phase of his life, he's still performing his job superbly up to the very end. From helping out his fellow radio communicators in the transmission work center, to performing equipment and personnel inspections in his position as a quality assurance inspector, he continues to hold himself to a high standard and it shows with his dedication to the Air Force and 48th Fighter Wing missions. Why did you join the Air Force? I joined the Air Force to follow in the footsteps of many of my family members, some who still serve today. Also, to pay for college and travel opportunities. How does your job support the mission of the 48th Fighter Wing? My job as a Quality Assurance Evaluator supports the 48th FW by ensuring the members of the 48th CS are qualified and capable of delivering high-quality products and support to various organizations across the wing. What drives you as an Airman? I am driven by my belief that things can always be improved. I am constantly searching for ways to improve not only myself and the people around me, but also the processes of our work routines. What skills do you possess that set you apart from others? I believe that my ability to adapt to change and my constant desire to learn sets me apart from others. The Air Force is filled with great minds, so I will purposely let others lead to see how they would approach a situation because it may be much different than the way I would go about it. What has been your favorite place to travel in England/Europe, or where would you like to travel to? It would be a toss-up between my trip to Sunny Beach, Bulgaria, and Interlaken, Switzerland. I do want to take a trip to Croatia and Gibraltar before returning to the United States.
