TSgt. Jessica Nieves, 439th Force Support Squadron

"I had been out of the service for about a year when a recruiter called, asking if I wanted to re-enlist into the reserve," she said. "When the recruiter told me how the reserve could help me pay for school I decided to re-enlist in 2008." ..."What I really like about the reserve -- camaradrie," she said, "You really get to know the people that you're working with and so the job ultimately becomes more like home."

SrA. Greg Gill

“I enlisted when I was 18,” SrA. Gill said. “My grandfather was a loadmaster on the 141 Starlifter and wanted to follow in his footsteps.” When Gill left active duty and moved back home to Connecticut, he began hunting for a full time position at Westover. “I didn’t want to be completely out of the military,” Gill said. “I came onboard as a full time ART last August.” Jumping from the KC-135 to working on C-5s, Airman Gill remarked that there really isn’t much of a difference from a hydraulic point of view. “It’s a much larger aircraft so you expect more systems to have to keep up with and a lot more to work on hydraulically,” Gill said.
