Why did you join the military? Carrying on a family tradition; I have 9 uncles and 2 aunts. The only two to go into the military were my two aunts, both serving in the Army. 

Where do you see yourself in 10 or 20 years? In 20 years I see myself completing my degree in photography, married with children, retired from the USAF and working as a photographer. 

What do you do for fun here? I love to travel, so I try to get myself away from the base and experience Korea. 

What's your favorite Air Force memory or story? In 2003 I deployed short notice to support the bombing campaign during the first stages of Operation Iraqi Freedom. I arrived just in time to see our jets leave with their bellies full and return completely empty. It's an amazing feeling to see our impact up-close and personal like that.
