 "After four years of working part time jobs, I joined the Air Force. I never imagined myself becoming a firefighter, considering I have a bachelor's degree in the medical field. Although I'm not in a medical career, it's been a great learning experience and I have a positive support system at Beale."

(Each week we will share a story of a Team Beale member through a candid photo, simple quote or 30 to 60 second video interview. The goal of this project is to provide a glimpse into the lives of the faces of Beale.  It's the unique attributes, backgrounds and lifestyles of our Airmen that make us the world's greatest Air Force.) 

Everyone has a story...we dare you to tell yours.
