 Equality is important to me because I like to have everyone feel included. It always is not an uncomfortable feeling to make others not be involved with what you're doing or what somebody else is doing. In my workspace, nobody is ever not able to do something. We're always trying to make sure everyone is at the same level as everybody else, so equality happens every day. Equality is important because everyone wants to have the same opportunities no matter if it's sexual orientation, gender, creed, religion, culture, but everyone wants to have the same opportunities towards their profession and workplaces. What others should know about equality is it could be a deciding factor in changing someone's life. You never know what anyone has going on in their personal world, so make sure that we're including everybody in what we do. I think this goes back to one of those old sayings of treat others the way you would want to be treated. It's not fair or right to just hate on someone else because they're slightly different than you. We all come from different backgrounds, but we all join the Air Force for the same goal. The Air Force has taken steps to include equality by including more gender-neutral activities as well as relaxing on regulations such as hair policies for women. Equality supports the mission by leaving no one out and having everyone multi-capable and prepared for whatever may come.
