Don't miss our debut Blacksnake Spotlight interview! Meet Staff Sgt. Graves from the 122nd Fighter Wing, who went above and beyond her duties in Aircrew Flight Equipment (AFE). As an AFE sergeant, she typically ensures the safety equipment for fighter pilots is in top-notch condition. But her skills and passion didn't stop there. Recognizing the critical need for proper-fitting flight suits for pregnant aircrew, she volunteered for a unique mission - sewing maternity flight suits. The project was a game-changer for pregnant aircrew members who faced life-threatening safety hazards and career obstacles due to ill-fitting gear. With her "Go Get It" motto driving her, Staff Sgt. Graves fearlessly embraced the challenge, impacting the careers of military women across the country. Tune in now!
