Fellow Operators, Friends, and Family, This is my final email as an Air Force member. I finally transitionback to civilian life in a few days. I want to take the opportunity tothank all those that helped me in my career and my day-to-day jobs.Your patience was great. I am humbled I was able to serve this great country and work in such anoutstanding organization as the US Air Force. I take extreme pride tosay I wore the uniform as some of the best and most dedicated people youcould meet anywhere in the world. I'm especially grateful to be part ofa military unit that has no equal. Even our sister services fear andenvy the AF.To say the AF was great to me does not do this great organizationjustice. The AF allowed a country boy from Tennessee to see not onlythis great country, but also various countries all over the world. Itallowed me to grow professionally and personally. The AF allowed me toget an education, see things, do things that I never would have done ifI didn't enlist. It even allowed me to play all types of sports (nonethat I can do very well) and work under all types of work environments.The reason I mention this is that the AF will allow you to do manythings as well. All you have to do is apply yourself to your job firstand when time and opportunities are afforded to you, take advantage ofit.I hope all of you and the AF the very best. The AF is going throughsome big changes now and in the near future. While these changes may befrustrating to you and you may even question the reasoning, alwaysbelieve in our leaders, push for these changes to improve and make ourAF strong, and it will help to meet future commitments. In the shortterm, our organization is going through some big changes. My biggestconcern is the future of this career field that has not only helped metremendously but many others as well. Will these changes allow ourAirmen of today to become SNCOs in the AF of tomorrow? Only time willtell.For the new young Airmen, stay motivated and keep your chin up.Remember, ATTITUDE is the road map in life, it can take you anywhere orno where. For the supervisors and leaders, take care of the Airmen andeach other. The AF and this great country are depending on you. There is so much more to say, but everyone has a job to do and work tobe done. So get to it!!! Ha! Good luck and take care. Maybe we can share a cold brewsky on thebeach. SMSgt Gibson
