Airman of the Week: Senior Airman Shameika Harvey Published Nov. 15, 2011 436th Airlift Wing Public Affairs DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del. -- Name/rank: Senior Airman Shameika Harvey Squadron: 436th Aerial Port Squadron Job description: Logistic manager Previous assignments: Dover Air Force Base, Del., has been my first and only base for the past four years. Dream assignment and why? My dream assignment would be Aviano Air Base, Italy, mainly because I've always wanted to go to Italy. It just seems like a fun place to be, especially since they have festivals all the time and many things to do. I love to take pictures, and being stationed there would give me the opportunity to see all their historical sites and attractions. Family: My husband, Senior Airman Dyrell Harvey. Favorite movie: My favorite movie is "Mr. & Mrs. Smith." Favorite food: My favorite food is pepperoni & jalapeno pizza. I love anything hot. Favorite book: My favorite books are anything written by Steven King. Who inspires you? My mom inspires me. She's always been there for me, supporting me in every step of my life and has never let me down. She's always believed in me, and like every mother, always told me I could be anything I wanted and no matter what I chose, she would be proud of me. She's given me so much, and now I'm working on giving it back. Have you been deployed? I did go on a two month temporary duty assignment to Mazār-e Sharīf, Afghanistan and another two month TDY to Rota, Spain. I absolutely loved going to Spain and being a part of a completely different culture. I got to experience a colorful type of art, music and cuisine. I love to eat, so the best part for me was the food. I tried a dish called Paella, and it was wonderful. It was a mixture of rice, vegetables, seasonings, beans and rabbit. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? In 10 years, I see myself being a senior master sergeant in the Air Force and hopefully not still at Dover AFB. I will have been happily married for 10 years with two kids. By then, I will also have my Community College of the Air Force degree, a bachelor's degree in business and a bachelor's degree in accounting.
