WHY DID YOU JOIN THE MILITARY? To move away from the area I lived in, and to help further along my education. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN THE MILITARY? 3years, 4months WHO IS THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PERSON IN THE MILITARY AND WHY? I would have to say the person in the military that influences me would have to SSgt Tai Taylor. She showed me the majority of the information that I have learned. She was the best instructor I have ever had. She taught me to always have confidence in myself no matter what. She is what a model airman should be. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING TO DO IN THE LOCAL AREA? Watching movies with my husband, and taking my daughter to the playground. WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT YOUR JOB? I would have to say inputting aircrew members training in the ARMS system and the fact my job is an inside job or should I say a desk job (at least that is what my husband calls it).
