The standards were very high and although we did not win, I was proud of the fighting spirit, team work and professionalism displayed by my team. Even though my journey in the RSAF is only in its infancy, I have found it to be extremely meaningful and fulfilling, both professionally and personally. I look forward to the expanded leadership roles that await me in my career. I am truly blessed to be able to work alongside all the dedicated professionals of the ACE community. Air Power starts with us! With Us, You Launch!
