Job title: protective services element leader

What is your most memorable moment on Andrews AFB? "My most memorable moment on Andrews was when President Obama played golf here on a Sunday last month.  I met
with the Secret Service agents on Saturday to go over security measures for his visit the next day. While he was putting on his golf shoes at the clubhouse he said 'good morning' and 'thanks'. That let me know that all the hard work our section does for presidential details each week was appreciated. It made me proud to be stationed at Andrews and proud to be a member of the protective services team."
