SPANGDAHLEM AIR BASE, Germany-- --

Name: Airman 1st Class Jordan Stephen Tubbs

Unit: 52nd Civil Engineer Squadron

Duty title: Water and fuel systems maintenance apprentice

Hometown: Brown Deer, Wis.

Years in Service: One year and eight months

Why joined: I needed a place where I could go full speed everyday, somewhere where there are endless possibilities to better myself, the people around me and the world as a whole. There was no better or more clear answer than the United States military.

Family: I have two younger brothers named Colin and Kyle. Both of my parents are still happily married. My mother, Tracy, is a principal and my father, Stephen, is a construction worker.

Hobbies: Competitive swimming, being an avid Wisconsin sports fan and any major activity than can be completed in a body of water.

Favorite aspect of job: Learning something new every day and having a job that directly affects the major mission of the base.

Most memorable Air Force experience: Having the privileged ability to enter a 1.3 million gallon fuel tank while it was in the process of being cleaned.

How do you make responsible choices: If it would reflect poorly on me, my family or my superiors, then it's a poor choice and should not be carried out.
