We are getting older and will retire soon.
Williams said he will take the military work ethic and lessons he has learned on Fort Leonard Wood with him throughout his career. “I like learning about the different aircraft that come in and out of here. I have seen C-17 Globemasters, A-10 Thunderbolts, UH-60 Black Hawks and CH-47 Chinook helicopters. We see active duty, Reserve and National Guard aircraft here from several different branches. I like learning how they all work together,” Williams said.
