How many times have you deployed and what makes this deployment unique? I have deployed three times. This deployment is different because I have many co-workers and friends here from my home station.

How does your job differ in a deployed environment vs. home base? My job at home is primarily administrative as a flight chief. Here I am able to apply all the skills and knowledge I have acquired throughout my career. I am also able to share those abilities with my Airmen in the accomplishment of their duties.
