Obviously saving lives, as well as being the guy in charge of the team and the aircraft. It was a privilege and an honor to have such responsibilities placed in my hands at only 26 years old. I also loved the travel and the fact that every day on the job was different and exciting.

The hardest part of leading a team is that everyone is an alpha male and has the "best way" to do things. Many times people don't know what they want and all you can do is make the best judgment possible with the information you are given and just make a decision.
