I believe I contribute to the 931st mission by providing and demanding continuity. In current ops we are in constant communication with many of the different agencies on base (the maintenance group, command post and the maintenance operations center) and within other bases. It is important to have a system, enforce the system, find flaws in the system and improve the system and I believe I do that well.

My favorite part of the mission is executing it. When the mission is actually executed, lives are saved, people are happy and the world is better.
