1. What associations will it be important to belong to when you are employed and engaged on your career path?  Identify at least two organizations.  I’m going to take this time you elaborate of the responsibilities of an Air Force Officer, considering I will be commissioning in about a month. I am not currently in the Air Force, but in a holding position between the reserves and active duty, called ROTC. It’s sort of its own thing because I’m obligated to the military, but more so than if I was just in the reserves. To answer the question, an important organization would be, the Air Force. Considering when I join I will be so much more than just an aviator, but an officer. A lot of people forget that part while in training but the fact of the matter is, I will be an officer first, a pilot second.

Other than these few things I really couldn’t find to much more out about Dunkin (Siren, 2018). -Who are the other candidates for FAA Administrator and what are their qualifications? -         The other candidates are the current FAA administrator, Daniel Elwell, and a Missouri Republican, Sam Graves. Their qualifications very but they are both fully capable individuals for the job. Daniel Elwell was actually appointed by President Trump in 2017 and swore in in June. Since his tenure, Elwell has impressed many in the industry (Elwell, 2018). On the other hand, one report said Sam Graves has actually been reported stating that he doesn’t know that he’s in the running for FAA Admin
