Super Saber Performer Published Jan. 24, 2013 By Staff Reports 52nd Fighter Wing Public Affairs SPANGDAHLEM AIR BASE, Germany -- Name: Airman 1st Class Nicholaus Grassl Unit: 52nd Contracting Squadron Duty title: Contracting specialist Hometown: Klamath Falls, Ore. Years in Service: 2 years. Why joined: I joined the Air Force because it is a career that lets me travel often, and it allows me to succeed and progress to the best of my abilities. Family: Parents George and Cathy; Sister Melissa. Hobbies: I enjoy martial arts, CrossFit, and anything that gets me out of the house. Favorite aspect of job: Working with people from so many different backgrounds and never doing the same thing two days in a row. Most memorable Air Force experience: While in uniform, I was walking in the Atlanta airport. A little boy came up to me, said "Thank you," and shook my hand. I was so surprised that I just smiled and said, "It's my pleasure." How do you make responsible choices: Growing up I didn't always make the most responsible choices. More times than not, the result of those choices landed me in situations that I didn't want to be in. So my past experiences and hard learned lessons are what shape my responsible choices today.
