F.E. WARREN AIR FORCE BASE, Wyo. -- Senior Airman Anthony Taylor, 90th Logistics Readiness Squadron fleet management analyst, spent a day with Col. Stacy Huser, 90th Missile Wing commander here, Nov. 7, 2017.
The Day with the Commander Program allows junior Airmen to shadow the commander and learn how the wing operates on a day-to-day basis.
"This is my first time doing the program,” said Huser. “For me it was fun getting to know Airman Taylor and having a new person to talk to throughout the day. I hope through this program he gained a bigger picture of how the wing operates, such as what types of meetings we have to sit through every day and more about the mission of the wing."
At the end of the day, Taylor shared his thoughts on the experience.
Q: What did you expect this experience to be like?
A: I had no prediction as to what was going to happen throughout the day, she could have had me run laps all day for all I knew.”
Q: Did today change your perspective of daily life in the wing?
A: Definitely. I figured they stayed busy up here, but I had no idea as to how busy. Today reinforced my thoughts about what it’s like at this level of leadership.
Q: What is your biggest take-away from this experience?
A: The importance of staying on schedule. There was always something we had to be doing. We had lunch during a meeting. Everything was done on the go because there was so much to do on her calendar.
Q: Would you recommend this opportunity to other airmen?
A: Absolutely. I think it would be cool to do with a group of two or three. that way, they can talk to each other in the quiet moments.
Q: Could you handle being a wing commander one day?
A: Yes. I would like to commission one day and work through the ranks and possibly hold a wing one day of my own.
