One of the great things about being in the Air Force is the level of responsibility we get at a very young age. What other jobs in the commercial world would let a 25-year-old Staff Sgt. be responsible for the mission success of a $2B satellite?
What other jobs would let a young lieutenant just out of college be responsible for an $80M aircraft? As a group, we are entrusted with protecting the lives and liberty of our fellow Americans, and we execute deadly force to do so.
