Reeves Rank: Technical sergeant Duty Title: Non-commissioned officer in charge, Operations Hometown: Mulberry, Ark. When did you join the Air Force? June 1997 Why did you join the Air Force? I joined the Air Force because I grew up in a small rural town where the potential for me to have a meaningful career was limited. While exploring my options, I realized I could have a great career in the Air Force and serve my country at the same time. What do you like most about your job? I enjoy the opportunities I am afforded to mentor future leaders. We have more than 320 people in operations ranging from Airman through master sergeant, and I have the privilege to be part of a first-rate team. What is your favorite thing to do around the area? Although there is more to do and see in the local area than I can name, my favorite is taking my family to the various amusement parks and state and federal parks.
