If I could change anything, it would be to clear up any misconceptions about this wonderful assignment. I would do away with negativity anywhere it's found. What is the best part of being at Osan? The best part of being at Osan is the country and culture of South Korea. The distinct Asian architecture, building styles and heated floors are amazing. In addition, I enjoy the distinct food offered outside the gate with beef short ribs holding the number one spot. All in our entire host nation is most gracious and I was attracted to that treatment from the very beginning of my tour. What is the most memorable moment of your tour here, so far? The most memorable moment of my tour so far was the day trip to the museum in Seoul. The statues, temples, and ancient art work made for an unforgettable experience. What's your favorite Air Force memory or story? My favorite Air Force memory was graduating basic training and getting coined by Lt. Gen. Remington for outstanding display of military bearing. What accomplishment are you most proud of? The accomplishment I'm most proud of is earning distinguished graduate from technical training school. Who are your role models? I have two role models in my life; one personal and one professional. My personal role model is Sebastien Foucan, considered one of the founders of parkour and the creator of freerunning. My professional role model is my superintendent. Master Sgt. Ben Johnson. I believe he has a very effective style of leadership that I would like to emulate when I earn senior NCO stripes.
