SPANGDAHLEM AIR BASE, Germany -- Name: Airman 1st Class Adande Camille Andrade

Unit: 52nd Fighter Wing Judge Advocate

Duty title: General Law Paralegal

Hometown: Brooklyn, N.Y.

Years in Service: One year

Why I joined: After analyzing all of my options and all the possible paths I could take after high school, I decided nothing would benefit me in the aspects of life that are important to me like the Air Force would.

Family: Mom, Kim Andrade, and dad, Michael Burke-Andrade, who met while in the Army National Guard. I have a baby brother, Joseph Andrade, and an older brother, Michael Cathlin, so that would make me the princess.

Hobbies: I love cooking, shopping and soccer. Hopefully one day soon I'll be able to make traveling a hobby, as well.

Favorite aspect of job: Customer service. I enjoy helping clients, especially retirees or members with a lot of military experience because they have many entertaining stories and knowledge to share.

Most memorable Air Force experience: Basic military training graduation as guide-on bearer.

How I make responsible choices: I always think about the future - mine and everyone else's. I consider how my decisions will affect everyone in the near and distant future and choose my next move accordingly.
