As Airmen, we’re all part of the Air Force family. We’ve all dedicated ourselves to the service of this great nation, and with that service comes responsibility. To be a good Airman, we must strive to be experts in our career field, a mentor to those around us, a Wingman on and off duty and we must approach every day as an opportunity to make our Air Force family stronger.
In addition to those we serve within the Air Force, we all have a group outside of work we consider our family. Whether you’re a son, daughter, mother, father, sister, brother, husband, wife or friend, we all value the time we spend with our loved ones. We rely on our family at home to keep us grounded and to remind us why we serve.
When I look at my family at home and my family at work, I see many of the same people. I’m fortunate to serve at Little Rock with my husband, sister and brother-in-law. We are all in the business of training C-130 pilots and navigators, and we see each other virtually every day. We take great pride in our jobs knowing that in the future one of those crewmembers might be serving with a member of our family.
So I ask you, would you do anything different today if your customer was your husband or wife, sister or brother, mom or dad?
Whether you are seeing patients, fixing aircraft, serving food or on a patrol, you’re making an impact on members of our Air Force family. The chief of staff and secretary of the Air Force have dedicated this year to families, I challenge you to make every day about family – both on and off duty. While you may not have the chance to say “hello” to your niece when you drop your daughter off at the Child Development Center like I do, you are making an impact on a member of someone’s family each day.
