BEALE AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. --  

"I've been stationed at Beale for about two months. After coming from a training environment, I appreciate the differences of the operational Air Force. I learned my job and now I'm expected to perform at a high level. I still have responsibilities, but I'm given more freedom. The operational Air Force is different than I thought it would be because of the great people I work with. With so many appointments and not having a car, they've been a big help with adjusting to life at Beale."
