The benefits are awesome; I get to travel, finish my education and am constantly being pushed by my leadership to progress and grow professionally and most importantly personally. Family: I get the privilege of having 4 brothers and 4 sisters Hobbies: Reading, working out and traveling Favorite aspect of job: Most definitely the camaraderie. We're a small squadron which gives you a chance to get to know everyone on a more personal level. I can honestly say I look forward to coming to work every day. Most memorable Air Force experience: Finding out that my first duty assignment would be in Germany. How do you make responsible choices: My faith has given me a set of values that I try to live by. If what I'm about to do doesn't align with the values I set for myself then it probably isn't good for me to do.
