What you like about working at the 445th?
I love the diversity of the unit, the opportunity to learn and open my mind to new ideas.  I also admire the cohesiveness and comradery of this unit.

Why did you join the Air Force?
My father was in the Navy and my mother was a midwife.  I decided to follow in my father's and mother's footsteps.  The Air Force sounded more appealing to me and I chose the medical field.  So, I have the best of both worlds!
