 “I’ve become very interested in data science…That interest really helped when I was asked to support the Chief Data Office with the recent Data Challenge. The agency also supported me getting my Tableau license. I’m now learning Python – a programming language. It’s so great that leadership knows how important data is to the agency, and I’m glad to be a part of it…I’m very much enjoying my time here at AFN.” – Janine Charlery

 “Growing up in Michigan, in the flight path of the former Wurtsmith Air Force SAC Base, had us children always looking up to the sky. I would tell my father, that is what I am going to do; he told me women do not do those things. After many kitchen table debates, my parents signed the release for me to join the military at 17 years old in 1976. My military occupation specialty was 67N20 helicopter mechanic.” – Pamela Tressler

Parson offers a few reflections on our ephemeral connection to the passage of time - along with how to determine whether a geriatric airplane can safely continue to operate, and helpful tips and a table to track maintenance events driven by cumulative operations or calendar dates.
