Career stories
"It is fulfilling to be part of an organisation that is dedicated to the overall growth of its people."
Every day in the RSAF drives me to conduct myself in a manner that is worthy of respect. From a carefree disposition, I have elevated myself to become a disciplined AIRIX.
It is fulfilling to be part of an organisation that is dedicated to the growth of its people. We are constantly introduced to activities that build an atmosphere of trust and solidarity among teams. In one such project, I led my team through technical difficulties to emerge victorious, and received the Innovation Award from the Chief of the Air Force. Definitely one of my proudest moments!
