Warrior of the Week Published May 20, 2008 By 23rd Wing Public Affairs MOODY AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. -- Name: Airman 1st Class Brandon Paddock Organization: 347 Operation Support Squadron Duty Title: Air Traffic Controller Hometown: Richmond, Virginia Hobbies: Spending time with my family, playing the guitar and bass guitar In your own words, how does your job impact your Wing, Group or Squadron mission? My job impacts the Wing by making sure all of the wing aircraft complete their missions successfully and safely. All of the Aircraft that take off from Moody and climb higher than 2,700 feet talk to the Moody AFB Radar Approach and Control Center. Using air traffic control procedures and radar surveillance, 23rd Wing aircraft can safely complete their missions within Moody's designated airspace, all under the control of Moody RAPCON. What is your most memorable Air Force Experience? My most memorable Air Force experience was when I was stationed at Ali Air Base, Iraq. We controlled multiple military missions along with civilian aircraft. Ali Base Radar facility controlled 200 miles of airspace, 4 aerial refueling tracks, all southern Iraqi kill boxes, and Southern Iraq's major airways running north and south. Going to work controlling Air Force and coalition pilots everyday gives you a good feeling, knowing you are getting the mission done! What is your Air Force goal? My Air Force goal is to do whatever it takes to get the mission accomplished, whenever and wherever that mission may be!
