In your own words, how does your job impact your Wing, Group or Squadron mission?

With the job of being an AMMO troop, we support many elements in the Wing that need to access to munitions. Without our job being present, we would not be able to protect the lives of our Airmen, family and country.

What is your most memorable Air Force experience?

My most memorable experience in the Air Force has been the opportunity to be part of the Air Force "Family," which takes care of its Airmen. Some examples include volunteering with the Sober Ride program and helping Airmen who are in a jam, or supporting the numerous organizations within the Air Force and help new Airmen and their families cope with their new military life.

What is your Air Force goal?

As an AMMO troop, my Air Force goal is to provide the enemy the opportunity to die for their country.
