"Airmen Stories" gives Airmen a chance to tell their story Published Sept. 20, 2012 Air Force Recruiting Service Public Affairs JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH -- Each year, thousands of young men and women join the U.S. Air Force and their lives change forever. Now, those same Airmen have the opportunity to tell their Air Force story and share their personal experience with others who may want to follow in their footsteps. Known as "Airmen Stories," these unscripted and unrehearsed video stories will give future Air Force applicants a chance to hear current active-duty Airmen talk about their personal stories firsthand. Airmen are free to talk about what they like about the Air Force, what they've learned about themselves and how the Air Force has helped them meet their goals. Every Airman is a recruiter and your story can have a significant impact in someone's life. "I went from not having an idea of what I wanted to do with my future to having a career," said Master Sgt. Diane Slazinik, 362nd Recruiting Squadron flight superintendent, in her Airmen Stories video submission. "One of the biggest things the Air Force has given me is the opportunity to experience change," she said. "I learned how to adapt and work with the environment I'm in to be successful. I'm glad the Air Force is part of my life and I think I'm a much better person for it." It's your story, told your way. Airmen Stories submissions may be featured on such social media sites as the Air Force recruiting Facebook page, the Airmen Stories YouTube page or other venues. The ideal length of the videos is between 30 seconds and two minutes long. Airmen are asked not to use government equipment for filming or uploading their videos.
