Tech. Sgt. Katherine Y. Lamb
Unit:
445th Operations Support Squadron
Duty Title:
NCO in charge, Orderly Room
Hometown:
Guayama, Puerto Rico
Education:
Master of Science in chemistry
Hobbies:
I have many things that I enjoy from cooking, gardening and feeding the homeless to tutoring Hispanic students. As a Christian, I have a passion to serve to which these activities have contributed greatly in my life and for my happiness.
Career Goal:
My career goal in the Air Force is to achieve the rank of master sergeant and become a first sergeant. A first sergeant is a priceless asset to the men and women in the assigned unit. Our call as Airmen is take care of the mission first, take care of each other to build trust and an unbeatable team, and take care of ourselves with a personal commitment to the best. First sergeant promotes this principle, and I want to be part of these select few senior NCOs.
What you like about working at the 445th?:
After 11 years on active duty, in 2017 I joined the Air Force Reserve. At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect because in the active-duty world, you hear all these stories of reservist. The 445th Airlift Wing is a great organization to be part of. The 445th Operations Group and operations support squadron bring up the operational element to the wing. I am honored to be part of an organization that makes an impact in our Air Force. We have the best professionals supporting airlift missions, equipment and aeromedical evacuations to and from areas around the world.
Why did you join the Air Force?:
To be quite truthful, my initial reason to join the Air Force was self-centered. I wanted to become an Airman because my confidence needed a boost. The Air Force motivated me to accept the challenges that I did not believe I could do. Also, I had a desire to see the world, and I thought the military would provide me the option to do this.
