Home unit/base: 4th Space Operations Squadron Schriever Air Force Base, Colo. Hometown: Warner Robins, Ga. entered air Force: Jan. 16, 2007 Airman First Class Cameron Cruz It’s an honor to serve my country as a Satellite System Operator. There’s a tre- mendous amount of responsibility that comes with being trusted with a space system worth $31 billion. More impor- tantly, providing secure communication to warfighters is critical in many differ- ent aspects. Knowing that what I do can possibly save lives and help complete a military mission gives me both a sense of accomplishment and pride. Training for me never stops. If I’m not proficient at my job, then I let down those who de- pend on me. This one thing I will not let happen. EnlISTEd SATEllITE OpERATOR PROFILE J May-June 2009 15
