  • Published
  • By 315 Airlift Wing Public Affairs
JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C. --  

Name: David A. Jackson

Rank: Tech. Sgt.

Military Job: Air Force Reserve Recruiter

Favorite Part of being in the Air Force Reserve: Knowing what we do changes people's lives.

Favorite TDY location and why: Diego Garcia 2002. Beer, beaches and bombs. What's not to love?

Biggest pet peeve: Overly political correctness. Sometimes people need to have their feelings hurt.

Favorite superhero or villain: Do not really have one

Favorite sports team? Roll Tide

List three traits you admire in others: 1) People who are able to find the positive in any situation, although I am not one of them. 2) People who have a sharp wit. 3) Standing up for what you believe in.

Which actor/actress would you play in a movie? Sean Connery as James Bond

Favorite thing about the Charleston area: All of the places to eat. You can never run out of restaurants.

If you were in charge, what would you change? Hats would be optional, unless it was in a formation.

Ideal vacation spot: Hiking the Appalachian Trail after I retire. Traveling 2179 miles with everything on your back. That's how you end 20 plus years of work.

If you could have dinner with anyone in the world, who would it be and why? My father. As I've gotten older it's gotten harder to get home to see him.
