What do you like about working at the 445th?
What I like about working at the 445th is the ability to make a difference in people's
lives. My first duty assignment in the Air Force Reserve was with the Aeromedical Staging Squadron (AMDS) as an ophthalmic technician. I had the benefit of helping people see better, and had a part in the start of the careers of Air Force pilots. I enjoyed participating in flight physicals as well as ordering gas mask inserts. Now, as a chaplain assistant I get to help Airmen in a different way.

Why did you join the Air Force?
I joined the Air Force because I love the military, although my first love will always be
the Army. I couldn't be happier as a member of the Air Force family.
