This week's Firstie Friday is C1C Kiana Rae “Kiki” Baruela, hailing from Hilo, Hawai’i. 🏝️ Kiki is majoring in Business Management and is a former enlisted Airman and a usafaprepofficial graduate! Kiki’s prior-enlisted job was a Health Services Management specialist. Fun fact? Her future job in the usairforce will be as an officer in the Medical Service Corps, so she will re-enter the field with a wealth of knowledge and experience! 🏩 While Kiki was enlisted, she always aspired to commission. Witnessing the exceptional leadership of #USAFA graduates while working alongside many doctors/officers solidified her desire to attend the Academy. 🩺 A couple of her favorite memories while here were Ring Dance and 100s weekend! 💍💯 Her advice to cadets: “Everything will work out in the end. In the words of the one and only Bob Marley, everything in life got its purpose. Find its reason in every season.” #LeadersofCharacter #USAFA2024 #UnitedWeEndure
