1
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,990
mhm I'm therefore Signal Sergeant 

2
00:00:06,990 --> 00:00:08,800
Arturo Gomez Jr . From the 3 18 

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,022
training squadron at the inter american 

4
00:00:11,022 --> 00:00:13,244
Air Force academy also known as a alpha 

5
00:00:13,244 --> 00:00:14,911
And I am one of the Air Force 

6
00:00:14,911 --> 00:00:17,650
ambassadors for 2021 being a military 

7
00:00:17,650 --> 00:00:20,080
ambassador is so much fun . But with 

8
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:22,413
that fund comes a lot of responsibility . 

9
00:00:22,413 --> 00:00:24,636
You have to be open minded and you have 

10
00:00:24,636 --> 00:00:26,524
to be willing to grow out of your 

11
00:00:26,524 --> 00:00:28,524
comfort zone because this is one of 

12
00:00:28,524 --> 00:00:30,580
those opportunities are one of those 

13
00:00:30,580 --> 00:00:32,524
positions where you really have to 

14
00:00:32,524 --> 00:00:34,524
engage with everyone . The military 

15
00:00:34,524 --> 00:00:36,691
ambassador program is a very selective 

16
00:00:36,691 --> 00:00:39,710
process . We select members uh from the 

17
00:00:39,710 --> 00:00:43,710
ranks of E 437 we select one male 

18
00:00:43,710 --> 00:00:45,860
and we select one female . 

19
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,240
I love you . Yeah , you're 

20
00:00:51,250 --> 00:00:52,972
interested in being a military 

21
00:00:52,972 --> 00:00:55,770
ambassador . This is very simple . You 

22
00:00:55,770 --> 00:00:57,492
have to have a great record of 

23
00:00:57,492 --> 00:00:59,710
performance . You have to have self 

24
00:00:59,710 --> 00:01:01,821
confidence and you have to have great 

25
00:01:01,821 --> 00:01:04,310
communication skills . If you have all 

26
00:01:04,310 --> 00:01:06,220
those attributes , the military 

27
00:01:06,220 --> 00:01:08,870
ambassador program may be perfect for 

28
00:01:08,870 --> 00:01:12,620
you . Mm When you start to 

29
00:01:12,620 --> 00:01:14,731
engage with the community , you start 

30
00:01:14,731 --> 00:01:16,787
to realize that PS is much more than 

31
00:01:16,787 --> 00:01:18,787
just a party . It is a party with a 

32
00:01:18,787 --> 00:01:21,530
purpose . Yeah . If you really want to 

33
00:01:21,530 --> 00:01:23,680
make a difference in somebody's life 

34
00:01:23,690 --> 00:01:25,857
and you want to make an impact in your 

35
00:01:25,857 --> 00:01:28,079
community . This is a great opportunity 

36
00:01:28,079 --> 00:01:29,912
to do that . You're a little bit 

37
00:01:29,912 --> 00:01:32,134
nervous about submitting , don't be . I 

38
00:01:32,134 --> 00:01:34,660
was a little nervous at first but 100% 

39
00:01:34,660 --> 00:01:36,810
I would absolutely do this all over 

40
00:01:36,810 --> 00:01:40,150
again . If I could , I think that the 

41
00:01:40,150 --> 00:01:42,930
program is a great example of the great 

42
00:01:42,930 --> 00:01:45,270
relationship uh that joint base san 

43
00:01:45,270 --> 00:01:47,760
Antonio has with the surrounding area . 

44
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,420
When my rain is an Air Force ambassador 

45
00:01:51,430 --> 00:01:54,720
comes to an end , I can confidently say 

46
00:01:54,730 --> 00:01:57,160
that I have grown both personally and 

47
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:01,040
as an airman . Yeah . 

48
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,273
My advice for the next Air Force 

49
00:02:03,273 --> 00:02:06,620
ambassador is have fun , enjoy the food 

50
00:02:06,630 --> 00:02:09,120
and enjoy fiesta . And there's once in 

51
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,860
a lifetime opportunity . Yeah .
