Why is serving in the Air Force important to you?
It gives me the opportunity to challenge myself in ways I couldn't in the civilian world.

I'm most proud of becoming an evaluator on the CV-22B Osprey.

What are your personal and/or professional goals?
Professionally I'd like to finish my bachelor's degree in mathematics before I complete my Permanent Change of Station and personally I'd like to attend a game in the 2016 Euros in France.

What is your favorite part of your job?
The favorite part of my job would be flying in combat.

How does the individual portray that core value?
"Staff Sgt. Jamison exudes this core value through dedication to his craft and pride in his work and the impact it has within the squadron," said U.S. Air Force Capt. Tyler C. Oldham, 7th Special Operations Squadron plans flight commander. "He is the NCO responsible for all monthly boldface exams and Master Question File tests, as well as tracking and scheduling of all Special Mission Aviator spot and mission evaluations. Jamison is always available to clarify regulations, requirements or provide feedback to superiors and peers alike on issues concerning the CV-22 and the standardization/evaluation program, and offer solutions to challenging issues that come up due to aircraft hardware and software changes that must be taught and organized prior to implementation."
