In what ways has serving in the military influenced the way you have approached your subsequent life and career?:
Serving in the military has influenced the way I have approached my life and career in several ways. First, I came from a single family home where my dad was my sole provider from age 12 until I left for basic training at age 18. It was different being a female raised by a dad and all of my friends were raised mostly by moms. I was determined to do great things in life. Once I graduated basic training, I was on full throttle to an amazing career. When I realized I had the opportunity of a lifetime, I made the best of it. The Air Force was giving me money, advancement, training, travel, recreation, education, security and satisfaction and I took full advantage of it. I started off as a Dental Technician. I became a First Term Airmen Center Instructor, an Airmen Leadership School Instructor, and then a Third Tier Recruiter. I then advanced to a Recruiter Flight Chief in charge of 4 offices. This led to me going to the Air Force’s Recruiting School House to be an Instructor Supervisor and the Director of Education. After this assignment, I took on my last job as a squadron Production Superintendent in charge of offices in GA, FL and a portion of SC. This was the epitome of my career.
The Air Force gave me all the tools I needed to believe in myself. The tools of dedication, motivation and communication. These tools pushed me to know and show that I was competent, capable and competitive at everything I did. I have transformed thousands of civilian and Air Force lives over my 26-year career. I have used those tools and taught them to my everyday life and instilled these lessons in my 3 daughters, to help make this world a better place.
