Faces of Afghanistan

Senior Airman Jael Herrera, a 22-year-old from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, is currently deployed from the 374th Civil Engineer Squadron, Yokota Air Base, Japan. Herrera is assigned to the Infrastructure Training Advisory Group and forward deployed to the 439th Air Expeditionary Advisory Squadron, Kabul International Airport, Afghanistan, as an electrical systems advisor to train the Afghan national army engineering unit. A graduate from Avon Park High School in 2007, Herrera joined the Air Force four years ago to pursue his educational goals and travel. "I think our advisory mission here in Afghanistan is very important and it's a long process that just started not too long ago. The Afghans are very hard working people and are always willing to learn new skills, which makes teaching and advising a lot easier for us advisors. The Afghan technicians are motivated, that positive attitude will be something that I'll always remember," said Herrera.
