"I joined the Air Force because I was interested in contributing to something greater than myself.

My most memorable Air Force experience so far in my career was attending a promotion ceremony that was conducted at the Pentagon by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey.

What I love about my job is the people! Those in the military community hold themselves to high standards and readily provide assistance and support to others in need."
