POPE AIR FORCE BASE, N.C. --  Staff Sgt. Josh Armstrong, 43rd Mission Support Squadron

Job description: The Manpower Career Field encompasses manpower and organization activities, with core competencies in organization structure, manpower requirements determination, program allocation and control, and performance management.

Date entered military: Nov. 2, 1994

Reason entered military: I was looking for a direction and wanted to serve my country; the Air Force fit both purposes.

Most influential in career: I don't have any one person. I have had the opportunity to work with many great peers and leaders.

Short-term goals: To complete my graduate degree.

Long-term goals: To continue my education and set myself up for retirement.

What is the best thing about Pope, and why: Pope is very people-focused. I believe high morale increases mission effectiveness.

If you could change one thing at Pope, what would it be and why: Reduce all "Pope-isms." All bases have unique missions and do things differently, but it seems Pope takes point on this; I feel we could potentially decrease a lot of self induced stress.
