Christopher Rathy
Class of 2002
Air Force, 2 Years
My current career field is extremly vast in specialties. I am currently working in Food service in the Force Support Squadron within the Mission Support Group. Also I will be serving in OEF in Joint Tasking with the Army. I have deployed once before to support OIF/OEF in Saudia Arabia. Within this period of time, I was blessed to be the first Airman to recieve Senior Airman Below-the-zone in the Force Support Squadron (which merged Services and Personnel), within my first two years. I am hoping to acheive Staff Sargeant within my first four years of enlistment while I am considering possibilities of pursuing Officer or other options. It has been an honor serving this nation.
