 Hi, I'm Ciaran Menwarik. I'm part of the 36th Fighter Generation Squadron and I am a crew chief. Women's History Month is a great time to focus and reflect on women and what they've done in the past. More specifically, women in the military, it's great. I've had a lot of good role models that have paved the way for me. I never picked up a wrench before I joined the military. I remember being in my recruiter's office, you giving me a really big list of a bunch of different jobs. And one of the things I looked up was aircraft tactical maintenance. That's the official name for being a crew chief. And I looked it up and I was like, man, like, it'd be great to have my name on an aircraft. And when I got to basic training and I was looking through the different aircraft, I was like, wow, F-16. I know what that is. So let's just go with that one. Seeing the jets take off, all of them start up. It's sometimes you get used to it, but when you're in the moment, maybe you're on a TDY at deployment and those jets have a purpose and they're going up to fight somewhere and do their thing, it feels amazing. It feels like you're making a difference. I've understood my role as a woman in the military and that I can pave the way for the younger women that joined and be a mentor for the younger women that joined. I never really understood how important it was until I had those female role models. So I can't wait to pass on the knowledge to younger women coming in.
