Joining the Air Force has impacted my life in many ways, ranging from: teaching me a sense of responsibility to showing me the true meaning of teamwork. The skills I have gained in my few short years will stick with me the rest of my life. If you were Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force, how would you change the Air Force? Most of the things I would try and change involve my career field. Other than that, I would try and make the squadrons more of a unit, deploying together and living together. This would bring people closer and create more of a family then a corporation. What's your favorite thing about being in the Air Force? Without a doubt, the fact that so many people from all different places around the world are brought together for one objective. It's amazing to hear and share other people's experiences. What do you like most about being an Airman? The experience; at our age, not many people in the world can say they have seen or done what we have done. It's a great feeling knowing that our supervisors rely on us to get the job done. Why selected: "Airman 1st Class Reagan consistently shows that he is my "go to" Airman. He has incorporated the thoughts of our Airmen into the facility and constantly solicits our customers for constructive feedback. He is an up-and-coming star performer who has assisted the dining facility management with maintaining a 98 percent customer satisfaction rating." - Master Sgt. Haywood Miller Sr., 2st FSS Dining Facility Manager
