How has joining the Air Force impacted your life? It has added more structure and stability to life than I had prior to joining.

If you were Chief of Staff of the Air Force for one day, how would you change the Air Force? I would alter the PT program to include some strength training to balance the running.

What's your favorite thing about being in the Air Force? Meeting people and experiencing things most people don't get a chance to in their daily lives.

What do you like most about being an Airman? I like the fact that my work actually serves a purpose and is not just a meaningless 9 to 5 job.

Why selected: "Airman Dugger's work ethic and job knowledge is extraordinary and far beyond his pay grade. He is not only an asset to our shop but brings an excellent attitude to work every single day." Staff Sgt. Nicolas Porter, non-commissioned officer in charge of Surveying Systems and Support, 21 CES.
