Veteran's Day 2012 -- Steve Francis Phillips


Last year I wrote several blog's about my relatives who have served in the military. I've since found out I missed several. I would like to correct that this year. I'm starting with my cousin's son Steve. I hate to say it but I don't know Steve very well – yet.

Like a lot of us Steve didn't know what he wanted to do once he left high school, he held a couple of jobs, but didn't feel he was going where he wanted to. So he joined the Air Force in November 2010. He graduated from basic training in January of 2011 and entered his technical training or MOS training after that. His specialty is 3P0X1 or Security Forces which included the core basics of law enforcement, security, and air base ground defense. Steve graduated from technical school in April 2011. His first duty station was Dover AFB, Delaware. Here Steve honed his skills he learned in tech school, specializing in commercial vehicle inspection. In October of 2011 Steve learned he was to be deployed to southeast Asia and trained for two weeks and half weeks Eglin AFB, Florida before deployment to Qatar. He came back home in May of 2012 and is again stationed in Delaware.

Steve is an Airman First Class (E-3) and has just passed his two year mark this month, and is extremely proud of what he has accomplished so far in his career and hopes to serve for twenty years.
