June 16, 2016 - 2nd Lt. Beau DeLeon, Pilot, 141st Air
Refueling Squadron, 108th Wing, New Jersey Air National
Guard describes his decision to join the Air Force, the
transition from enlisted to officer and becoming a father
while training to become a pilot. DeLeon, who grew up in
Browns Mills, N.J., was inspired to be a pilot by his father
who was a pilot in his native Guatemala and by watching
planes take off and land at nearby Joint Base
McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J. DeLeon stresses the importance
of a strong work ethic during his enlisted career and the value he
will place in the enlisted corps in the rest of his military career
as an officer.
