“…Enlisted with the goal of commissioning…” Published March 27, 2017 By Airman Tristan D. Viglianco 9th Reconnaissance Wing Public Affairs BEALE AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- “After 9/11 I wanted to serve my country and protect everybody. Joining the military is big in my family so I enlisted in the Air Force as security forces. I was enlisted for a year on active duty and for four years in the reserves. I originally enlisted with the goal of commissioning. I also wanted to become an officer to change some of the issues I saw while enlisted, so I went to Syracuse University. After I went through ROTC, I commissioned into intelligence. Now as an officer, I enjoy working to fix any problems which may arise.” 1st Lt. Christine, 9th Intelligence Squadron mission operations commander Hometown: Syracuse, New York
