In order to ensure that training met the changing needs of the participants as well as Air Force standards, it was very important to gain a strong indication of the success of the programs. As such, I developed and implemented assessment tools to better track and evaluate the effectiveness of training activities, as well as gauge the overall satisfaction of program participants. The feedback I received was integral in updating course documentation on a regular basis to ensure timeliness, relevance, and adequacy of programs. Additionally, I relied on surveys responses to improve Education and Training plans, as well as my job performance. As I continued in the role, my duties expanded, and I realized how important additional education would be to my own professional growth. As my formal education increased, so did my credibility within the Air Force, and as such, I became a subject matter expert with regard to training recommendations, measurement tools, budgeting considerations, curriculum development and future needs.

This training helped mold me into the person I am now, and gave me the confidence to apply myself in areas that required discipline, a clear head, and excellent decision-making skills. Overall, my role encompassed the analysis of operational performance and tests to ensure proper working of high-level avionics test equipment, special equipment, and aircraft components. This equipment testing was put in place to identify and correct malfunctions of radars, sensors, communications, weapons control, electronic warfare, and flight control and engine control systems. As this position involved a high degree of technical competence, I quickly became an expert at tracing logic, schematic, test flow, and wiring diagrams to determine root-cause analysis, as well as determine the scope of repair and adjustment required. The quality level of these components could not be under-estimated as the level of quality assurance greatly determined the ultimate safety of troops. I ensured that I conducted complete inspections of equipment, as well learned the intricacies of the equipment components.
