This was a great article and perfect timing. Our youngest daughter is in her second week of Air Force pilot training. Next month she will start her time in T-6’s and then move onto being a fighter pilot, her dream job. Shannon, thanks for writing this and sharing the struggles and challenges that “Lucky” went through. Makes me better appreciate the journey our daughter has ahead of her. Lucky, thanks for the example and role model you have provided. Going through ROTC and being the Wing Commander in her detachment she experienced the challenges of being a leader while being part of the minority. Sounds like it doesn’t get any easier.
