“Service Before Self”

The United States Air Force has three core values:

1. Integrity First
2. Service Before Self
3. Excellence In All We Do

I am so hyped right now! “Air Force Elite: Thunderbirds” on Netflix is a must see!

I’m experiencing so many feelings at this moment.

Gratefulness: So grateful I had the opportunity to serve. Who knew that waking up one morning and deciding to join the Air Force would have this much of an impact on my life?

Nostalgia: I miss that life. I miss the camaraderie. We were more than coworkers and colleagues. We were family. (Been trying to find that same connection in the civilian world, but I’m not sure it exists.)

Pumped Up: I won’t leak any spoilers, but that ending! Listen, I already knew what was going to happen. There’s something about pressure and adrenaline that pushes you to excel.

And seeing General Jumper was the icing on the cake. I knew who he was before they even showed his name. I served under his command in Europe. Talk about chills!

Seeing this documentary made me feel like I was back at home. I believe I need to visit an Air Force base soon. I need to see my people.☺️

I am beyond blessed and so grateful.🥰
