Why is serving in the Air Force important to you? Serving in the Air Force is important to me because I get to be a part of something bigger than myself. Being a part of the United States Air Force has given me the opportunity to give back to this great nation that has provided me with the freedom to make my own choices.

What moment or accomplishment as a member of the Iceman Team are you most proud of and why? Being a member of the Iceman Team has offered me the privilege to improve upon the quality of service provided at Pass and Registration. I have recently been involved in an ongoing process to equip and train the Inspection Bay and its personnel on Defense Biometric Identification System passes. This training has provided the Inspection Bay with daily assistance and a thorough, step-by-step instruction manual to be used as needed. With this improvement, we are now able to have an accurate record of visitors who enter the base after the duty day is over.

What is your favorite part of your job? I have several favorite things about working at the Visitor Center, but the one thing that stands out the most is the opportunity to help and interact with the community. All throughout my work day, I am privileged to communicate with and provide assistance to the public.

Who inspires you and why? My biggest inspiration is my father, Wesley Nolte. He has been such a great example of how a hardworking and determined attitude can help you excel in life. He raised me with the morals and values I try to incorporate in my daily activities. He is, and will always be, my biggest role model.

What's your favorite part about being in Alaska? My favorite part of living in Alaska is the wide variety of activities the different weather conditions provide. The summer has a seemingly endless amount of daylight, and the winter has an endless amount of snow. Each of these elements makes Alaska an adventure.
