Life In The Military; Part 2
This year the C/C's got to hear from the Prep Staff, both the Enlisted and Officers.
Throughout the academic year, the C/C's have had the chance to hear from some of the Prep Staff about their careers and personal life. This helps to give them different perspectives whether it be someone who Enlisted, went ROTC or was an Academy grad - not only on the different career paths that the Prep Staff have had but also insight on what it takes to accomplish those things and what it was like for them.
Life In The Military Part 2 features TSgt Sedelia Cordero, MSgt Caprice George and Mr. Scott Fuller.
TSgt Sedelia Cordero, who is a proud Texan. She left for basic training on November 21, 2002, graduating from Basic Training on 2 January 2003. After BMT she was sent to Keesler AFB, MS for technical training as a financial management apprentice. Upon graduating tech school in April 2003 her first assignment was to Laughlin AFB, TX as a customer service technician. She has been deployed twice with special ops while stationed in Alaska. While stationed at Eielson AFB she was promoted to TSgt and was selected to become an Academy Military Trainer. Which brought her here to the Air Force Academy within two months. Up on the Hill she was assigned to Squadron 12 for two years and then moved to the Prep School in May 2015.
Fun Fact: Just yesterday she was promoted to MSgt!
