I was able to see the world and meet new and interesting individuals. I still remember where and what I was doing when 9/11 happened as it was only my 2nd year in the Air Force. I finished my last 2 years doing Unit Deployment Manager where I was able to talk to different Major Commands and help them figure out deployment capabilities and send them where it was to be needed.
