Event Celebrates Women in Military


Additional representatives from Space Launch Delta 45 staff agencies, 45th Logistics Readiness Squadron, 45th Medical Group, 45th Force Support Squadron and the Air Force Technical Applications Center were onsite to compliment different career fields.

While the students rotated in between stations on the flightline, their attention was drawn toward the departure of a HC-130J, one of the many highlights of the event.

"My favorite part of this event was the opportunity to see everything up close and hear real stories from females who are part of the STEM field," said Madison, a rising 11th grade student who attended. "As a girl interested in a career in STEM, it is empowering to hear other female stories about how they got to where they are today."

Many students took the opportunity to engage directly with U.S. Air Force and USSF recruiters to learn more about how to pursue their dreams after high school graduation.

"Serving in the military is an excellent way to obtain specialized training in a wide range of career fields. If you can dream it, the U.S. Air Force or U.S. Space Force can help you achieve it," said Capt. Allison Encarnacion, 333rd Recruiting Squadron, support flight commander. "Aim as high as you possibly can."
