“Courage is one attribute I learned in the military. Often time, we face myriad of challenges and obstacles that require enduring spirit to overcome. Serving in the Air Force, I was challenged to do things I never have done or believed I could do. Even in the face of failure, you learn to never give up but to continually push yourself”, says Paul Nwoko

 

“I humbly believed the Air Force instills teamwork. There is no better institution to learn teamwork than the military. Every task is a mission, and working with a diverse group of talents and backgrounds to achieve the stated goals is the bedrock of the Air Force. During my time in the Air Force, I understood that working together brings the best individual talents for mission accomplishment”, says Paul Nwoko
