SPOTLIGHT
Meet the 100th Force Support Squadron's June's Spotlight! Capt Kodalen. Capt Kodalen is new to the 100th Force Support Squadron as our Operations Officer.
Where do you call home in the states? I grew up in an Army family and had the opportunity to live in several locations. I always enjoyed moving to new places, and those experiences had a huge impact on my decision to join the military. My parents live in Alabama and my wife’s family is in Delaware so I’m Roll Tide and Fly Eagles Fly all day.
What are some of your hobbies? My absolute favorite hobby is fishing – I love everything about it. Fishing in the UK is very different than what I’m used to, but I’ve been diving in and learning a lot from friends I’ve met locally. England is a great place to live, but I’m looking forward to getting stateside again and picking out a boat to feed this hobby.
How long have you lived in the UK? My wife and I moved here in October 2018. I spent the last year and a half over at RAF Lakenheath and I’m thankful for the opportunity to come join Team Mildenhall for two years.
What do you like about working at 100 FSS? There is so much more to FSS including all that our amazing civilians bring to the base every day that should be highlighted. FSS is the pulse of the Wing and the scope of care and service we provide is massive. I’m passionate about the fact that I get to wear this uniform, and I can’t think of another career field I’d rather be a part of.
What special skills do you have, that most people don't know about you? I love to shoot photography and film. I have several cameras including a drone and I love capturing family events or trips to look back at later. There is so much to do and see when you live overseas and I’m anxious to get back out and explore new places hopefully soon!
