Most significant accomplishments:  

 

“My most significant accomplishment has been leading Airmen,” said Williams. “To be able to shape and lead the future of the Air Force has been an amazing adventure. To have Airmen that are young and eager to learn, and watch them grow from new trainees to upcoming leaders has given me such pride in what I do.”

 

Airman’s story:  

 

“Growing up in a small town in Arizona, I decided I wanted to do more,” Williams said. “I joined the Air Force in 2003 and never looked back. My original AFSC (Air Force Specialty Code) is security forces, but I’m currently special duty as a military training leader. I look forward to taking the knowledge I’m learning as an MTL (Military Training Leader) back to my career field in a few short years.”
