Why did you join the military? My primary reason for joining the military was to pursue my educational goals. I encourage everyone I know to take advantage of Tuition Assistance and all scholarships provided through the education office and your school.

Where do you see yourself in 10 or 20 years? In 10 years I see myself working at the Pentagon, married with 2 beautiful children.

What do you do for fun here? I try to get out and travel as much as I can. I'd hate for a year to fly by with nothing to show for it. Also, I've joined Osan's 5/6 club to stay busy. I encourage everyone to get involved on base. It's a great way to meet new people.

What's your favorite Air Force memory or story? My favorite Air Force memory is meeting my first mentor. She definitely molded me, making me want to be a solid mentor for someone else. I thank God that she was put in my path to check my attitude when I needed it and support me through any obstacle.

What accomplishment are you most proud of? I'm most proud of being the only person out of my family to attend college.

Who are your role models? My mother, aunt, former MSgt Toya Forbes, SSgt Ashley Gonzales (C ) MSgt Melvina Smith
