LAUGHLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- Second Lt. Hunter Phan, 47th Comptroller Squadron financial operations flight commander, has wanted to serve in the military since he was little, with both his mother and father serving before him on the enlisted side. “Becoming a company-grade officer was a really big culture shock for me,” Phan said. “You’re young and have no experience, but you have to be willing to learn and help your people as much as you can.” For his fellow Airmen and young leaders, he urges to never shy away from advice. “You can’t be scared to ask questions or you will never learn your craft. You just need to roll with the punches and learn from your mistakes.” (U.S. Air Force graphic by Senior Airman Benjamin N. Valmoja)
