#TBT Back to my first military deployment with the usnavy aboard hospital ship USNS Comfort. I learned to cherish everything I know and love about the usairforce. I learned the importance of understanding the intricacies of each branch’s culture and earned the title of #shellback. I made a lot of friends and mentors many of whom I continue serving with today. Thanks for a great first deployment USNS Comfort on Continuing Promise 2009!+
