Class of 1991
Air Force, 10 Years

I was in the 1C3X1 (Command and Control Specialist) for the 33 FW at Eglin AFb in Florida. It was a high stress job and we worked many long and tiresome schedues. I've seen and heard things I would rather not have been exposed to. All in all; my experience in the military was a positive one and I will search for work to help Vets now coming home and seeking assistane.

Class of 1991
Air Force, 10 Years

I was in the 2S0X1 and 1C3X1 career fields. I was at work when 9-11 happened and found that my job was integral to the overall flow of information to the base commanders. I was lucky enough to not have to deploy but the experience of those days and weeks have made me one tough cookie. My husband and I both retired from Eglin AFB in Florida and we now reside with other retirees in San Antonio, TX.
