BEALE AIR FORCE BASE,Calif. --  "Growing up, I was the only male in the house. Being the only male isn't what it's cracked up to be. There are a lot of things that you gotta give up. When you're younger you can't make stupid choices and you gotta think about how that impacts everyone around you. Every decision I make right now impacts them the most... because I'm the role model they look up to, especially my younger sister."

Senior Airman Terron Matthews, 9th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron U-2 assistant dedicated crew chief
