23 years ago I joined the Air Force and shipped out to Lackland Air Force Base fresh out of high school! I did this like so many before me, because I wanted to serve my country and gain direction in life! So I deferred my enrollment to college for one year, became a flight medic and EMT and once basic, technical school and a a lot of on-the-job training, I concluded undergrad and grad school concurrently drilling every other weekend to support our mission at the time (I joined RIGHT after 9/11)…..
This gave me immense life experience and an absolute sense of self and of service, and I literally learned how to be an adult (seriously I did not know how to do laundry or boil water, thanks mom 😝) so I knew I this is where I’d learn. It had been the best decision of my life and I would not be where I am today without that experience. I’m so thankful to the amazing mentors I had all from way from staff sergeants full bird colonels along the way. The rest is literally history and I’m just so thankful for it all. to all of us with hope, that the future of our country will work out if we work for it to ♥️ 💙 🤍🇺🇸
