Staff Sgt. Iya Foster, 41st Airlift Squadron

Job description:
I input and audit all aircrew training

Date entered military: Jan. 24, 2001.

Reason entered military: Originally it was educational/school purposes, but now I just enjoy my career field.

Most influential in career: Two people - my first supervisor, Maryann Bega, and my current supervisor, Kathy Jackson.

Short-term goals: I am finishing up my Community College of the Air Force degree and getting ready to turn in my special duty application to become an instructor in my career field.

Long-term goals: I do not have any right now, but I had planned to complete 20 years.
What is the best thing about Pope, and why: The airlift wing mission. It's the reason I left Nellis AFB, Nev., to come to Pope. What the C-130 does as a whole and my part in it.

If there was one thing you could change about Pope, what would it be, and why: I would not change a thing; if anything I'd like to invite more people to become a part of Pope and experience the mission.
