Name: Staff Sgt. Isaac O. Concey

Unit: 52nd Aerospace Medicine Squadron

Duty title: Bioenvironmental engineering craftsman

Hometown: Accra, Ghana

Years in Service: 8 years

Why joined: I wanted an opportunity to experience something different, continue working towards my college degree, travel and make an impact.

Family: My wife Megan, mother Alice, father Isaac and brother David

Hobbies: Weightlifting, soccer, sprinting

Favorite aspect of job: Occupational safety and health; the satisfaction I see on a worker's face when I visit a workplace, assess all process conducted and help make the necessary changes that will ensure no harm comes their way during the work day.

Most memorable Air Force experience: My deployment to Balad AB, Iraq, January to May 2008; being able to conduct my job in a deployed setting and seeing first-hand how the emphasis I placed on each specific tasking impacted members of the joint forces occupying the base. Also, being able to serve as a member of the manpower team to assist the rest of the Medical Group with inbound mass casualties of wounded Soldiers, Airmen, Marines and Sailors as well as local civilians. You really get a new sense of appreciation for your freedom when you see so much suffering occur to so many innocent people who simply want to live their lives as freely as we do.

How do you make responsible choices: I basically think before I act! The right choice is the one that won't jeopardize my family's livelihood or affect those around me negatively.
