DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del. --  

Name/rank: Airman 1st Class Kila Wilson

Squadron: 436th Logistics Readiness Squadron

Job description: Logistics planner

Dream assignment and why? Aviano Air Base, Italy. I have seen pictures of the base and it looks beautiful. I would love to live there and experience the culture.

Family: My fiancé, Army Private First Class Christopher Archer; I also have my mother, father, brother, sister and other family members throughout the Washington D.C., Maryland and Virginia area.

Favorite movie: "Love and Basketball"

Favorite food: Shrimp and crab legs

Who inspires you? My mother and father because they are hard working, religious and enjoy life to the fullest. They've instilled in me a positive outlook on life, and taught me to always do things to the best of my ability. I look up to them for everything they've accomplished in life, and hope and pray to live as prosperous a life as they have.

Have you been deployed? Not yet, but I'm really looking forward to my first deployment.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? I see myself with my master's degree and hopefully working on my doctorate. I hope to be in good health, married with children and enjoying life as much as I do now. I also plan to have traveled to as many different countries as possible.

As a valued member of the installation-deployment-readiness cell, Wilson manages identification, validation, and distribution of deployment taskings across the 436th Airlift Wing. She works closely with 61 squadron unit deployment managers to meet command-level suspenses and resolve any issues that may arise. During exercise or contingency operations, she directs UDMs to accomplish base-wide deployment-processing actions in order to meet critical timelines. With her impressive attention to detail, experience, technical knowledge and dedication to the mission, Wilson is a valuable asset to the men and women of the 436th AW and deployed commanders around the world.
