Integrity, loyalty and family. These are just a few attributes that Air Force Senior Airman Heather Carson holds dear to her heart. Carson was born in Wellsboro, Pa., and joined the United States Air Force in 1992, just three days after her 18th birthday. It was her goal to travel and get a higher education. “After I graduated from basic, I went to Lowry AFB in Boulder, Co. for my training,” Carson said. “I studied the Fundamentals of Electronics for five months, followed by four months of specialized training for my AFSC – Bomb Navigation System Specialist on the B-52 Bombers. I was given my first permanent orders to Griffiss AFB in May 1993 where I worked ground maintenance on avionics on B52s in the 668th Bomb Squadron until I was part of closing the base in November 1994.”
