This excellence was made apparent during Royal Air Force Lakenheath's 2014 Defense Logistics Agency energy fuel-spill exercise. Hill single-handedly stood up a new office, the Fuels Environmental and Safety Office, to align with a newly-released Air Force instruction, and, in less than one month, he led the Fuels Management Flight to a rating of excellent during the exercise. This example of Hill's dedication to the core value of Excellence in All We Do, is just one of many. Why did you join the Air Force? I was looking for work that had a career option. Most jobs I'd had before didn't provide that possibility. The military seemed like more than just a job. It seemed like a brotherhood. The attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, solidified my decision to join. It was the right choice for me. How does your job support the mission of the 48th Fighter Wing? At the 48th Fighter Wing, LRS supplies aviation and ground fuel. What drives you as an Airman? Knowing that what I do has an effect on the world drives me. The decisions we make as an Air Force are contributing to the writing of history. What skills do you possess that set you apart from others? I have a strong intuition, and I'm resilient. My intuition helps when working with personnel, to know who needs more training and direction. Resiliency helps me learn from setbacks both at work and in everything else. What has been your favorite place to travel in England/Europe, or where would you like to travel to? I've enjoyed many places in England, but Birmingham was one of my favorites because it reminded me of downtown areas back in the states.
