As a Detachment Operation Flight Commander, you are supervising over majority of the cadets. Such as, checking dress code, maintain attentions for the cadets, in charge of the lessons, classes are in order, Honor Code and NO hazing, discrimination or sexual harassment. When I saw this the first time, I thought this was a lot. But then as I read more and more I realized that many of the points go together.

In the interview, Captain Lawrence stated that in 2013 there was budget cuts and a lot of people were let go because of their jobs in the Air Force. Captain Lawrence deals with the contracting section of the Air Force, therefore, he comprehends the information about the money from the Air Force. So, even though I may not be go into the same Bachelor Degree plan as he did. It’s still necessary to know what has occurred in the different jobs in the Air Force. So the next 5-10 years, Captain Lawrence stated that there will be most likely more structure and restraints on the money on the government. I see this as mostly a bad thing. Such as, what if it happens to me or the ones I care about around me. But, Captain Lawrence said it’s best to get a degree that you can do outside of the Air Force that you love.

So if the Air Force wasn’t that way or if any other career field wasn’t culture friendly, I wouldn’t be happy with it. In addition, majority of the skills Captain Lawrence said, I think define me as a person, such as, time management, organized, leadership, capability, be able to lead people. I upheld so many leadership roles in and out of High School. So, those skills have been instilled in me for many years. Lastly, the advice that Captain Lawrence gave will stick with me in and out of the Air Force. For instance, be a sponge, learn from a lot of people, have many options, such as, get opinions from others instead of relying your career off of one person. Also, don’t plan 20 years of your
