For episode #16, I spoke to Fairchild’s Career Assistance Advisor, MSgt Erica Northam. I met Erica during my first month here while organizing the Airpower Leadership Academy. Our Command Chief suggested I get in contact with her, but I didn’t want to include her at first, because I assumed that the base Career Assistance Advisor would try to make the program into something too professional or require more organization than I believed to be necessary. I quickly realized, I was dumb for making that assumption and Erica has proved to be one of the best decisions for the program. She is an expert in networking and knows a majority of the Airmen on base. We talk about the influence she’s had on Airmen’s careers, her own podcast, “Refuel Team Fairchild,” and a variety of other topics to include, Airpower Leadership Academy.
