As a photographer in the USAF IN THE 70's I saw and did some very amazing things. I can appreciate that she feels like she has an amazing job, and I can really feel what she is saying.kudos.

As one of two Photographer/Videographers for the California Dept of Fish and Wildlife, I rarely find a job cooler than mine. Liz meets that criteria and surpasses it. Nice stuff Liz, And thank you Lockheed for making products that brought me home every time. As part an Orion crew for many years I appreciate how hard they work to hand us a mission ready platform, and to improve it in a constantly changing tactical environment. To shoot good stuff is sometimes hard enough, to do it pulling G's is something altogether different. Thanks for sharing your story.

Would someone like this require prior military service as an airman/airwoman prior to being employed by LM?
