Career stories
"Being in the RSAF has brought out a greater version of me."
To me, joining the RSAF is my way of serving my friends, family and country – it may sound like a cliché but I do find my higher purpose here.
Initially, I had difficulties keeping up with the fast-paced training and dynamic operating environment. But fast forward to today (just over a year later), I have improved. I wouldn't say training and operations are easy, but with my teammates around me, I am definitely stronger physically, mentally and professionally.
The RSAF has strengthened my ability to command and communicate effectively and confidently. In the RSAF, I found a better version of myself.
