A1C ARCIE JARAMILLO
COMMAND SUPPORT STAFF HOMETOWN: LOS ANGELES, CA
HOW DO YOU CONTRIBUTE TO THE AIR FORCE MISSION? I contribute to the Air Force mission by taking accountability of incoming and outgoing Airmen, periodically verifying the EPR/OPR’S and decorations, and providing leave authorizations for our military members. I analyze any paperwork that goes through to the Commander and I also prepare and coordinate the weekly staff meetings for leadership. Another important part of my job is supplying the command staff and flight leadership with all of their work center supplies as the sole GPC holder for the commander. I love my job and I am thankful for the for the confidence that leadership instills in me to help accomplish the mission.
FUN THINGS YOU LIKE TO DO WHEN YOU’RE NOT WORKING? I love to travel around the world, especially during summer and spring. The best place to go during that period is the Amalfi Coast, which has been some of my best memories. Not only that, but if you haven’t experienced snowboarding or27 skiing, you have time now to enjoy the snow!
Paid Advertisement. No Federal Endorsement of Advertiser Intended.
FAVORITE DRINK AT DEJA BREW? Caramel macchiato blended with whip cream.
DO YOU PREFER THE DRAGON OR WYVERN FITNESS CENTER? I prefer the Dragon Fitness Center.
IF YOU WERE A PRO-WRESTLER, WHAT WOULD YOUR INTRO SONG BE? Drogba by Afro B
GO-TO MEAL AT THE DFAC? My go to meal are the omelets. My personal favorite is with egg whites, peppers, jalapeños, onions, and ham.
FINAL THOUGHTS FOR FELLOW AIRMEN? Exceed your limits. There is so much you can do in the aspects of traveling, taking classes, volunteering, etc. It will not only be a change for you, but others as well.
