Why is serving in the Air Force important to you?
Serving in the Air Force gives me so many opportunities to progress both personally and professionally. The Air Force has given me a chance to become independent, have a meaningful job and meet a large variety of people who have taught me many lessons about life and how I want my future to be.

What accomplishment during your Air Force career are you most proud of?
When I became a space professional subject matter expert, I reached a major step in my career. Everything that I had done before came together, and I was recognized for years of training, hundreds of successful missions and knowledge that has constantly been in high demand.

What are your personal and/or professional goals?
I would like to complete my degree, travel to exotic locations and become a subject matter expert for my new analyst duties here at RAF Mildenhall.

What is your favorite part of your job?
I love the job satisfaction I get from providing crucial intelligence that enables ongoing airborne operations. I know that my research and cross-checking from multiple sources really pays off when I get the feedback from aviators, mission managers and other analysts.

How does the individual portray that core value?
"Ullery is a go-to person and gets anything from small tasks to large projects completed before deadline," said Staff Sgt. William Skinkle, 488th IS airborne signals analyst. "Furthermore, he goes above and beyond the assignments he has at work, and dedicates his free time to becoming a better Airman. He has a 3.94 GPA at Auburn University, Ala., and volunteered for several events including the 'Give Parents a Break' program, by watching 19 children; planning the squadron holiday party, and reading at the 9/11 Remembrance Day Vigil."
