10. Where do you see yourself in 10 years: I see myself in the AF Honor Guard doing what I love. Everything else will fall into place.

Airman 1st Class Ryanna Simpson is an outstanding Airman amongst her peers. I believe she is the epitome of the Air Force core values. Her professionalism influences other Airmen to perform at higher standards. Airman Simpson is a team player and completes every task with a smile. She has been dedicated to duty even as a junior enlisted Airman. The excellence demonstrated by Airman Simpson has surpassed her primary duties in the medical group with public health protecting the health and medical readiness of our Dover Airmen. As a member of the base honor guard, she has upheld our Air Force traditional honors and ceremonies; furthermore, her ultimate goal is to become one of the elite members of the AF Honor Guard. If you could ask Airman Simpson what her motivation is to serve her country, the answer is obvious, she will look you in the eyes, smile and simply say, "To honor with dignity".
