MCCONNELL AIR FORCE BASE, Kan. --  Airman 1st Class Baily Zimmerman has been in the Air Force for almost two years. She has been stationed at McConnell since completing her technical training in July 2009. Her hobbies include fishing, singing, dancing, camping and hanging out with her friends.

Who is the most positive influence in your life and why?
My brother Sonny is the most positive influence in my life because he is always pushing me and challenging me to be better. No matter what problem I come across he can always help me through it, especially with the military side of things.


What would you like to accomplish during your Air Force career?
I would like to make senior airman below-the-zone, deploy, make staff the first time and eventually be commissioned as a doctor.


Where is the most interesting place you have traveled and why do you feel that way?
The most interesting place I have traveled so far is Germany. I actually went there on leave to visit some friends from technical school, and had the privilege of working in the United Services Organizations for 12 hours with the wounded patients coming from down range. Not everyone gets that experience in life, but I was very thankful that I did. The German people were very pleasant to be around and the country was beautiful, but their lifestyle was quite different. Everything there is very natural from their energy, to their architecture. It was very refreshing.

What is your favorite book/ movie and why?
My favorite books are the "Twilight Saga," although now I am embarrassed to say that, in 2006 they were a lot less popular. The books just let me escape reality for a moment and it was calming to me. My favorite movie is "Beach Blanket Bingo" because it's a fun carefree movie that took place in a simpler time, and I love that concept of life.

If you have the opportunity to meet anyone in the world, who would it be and why?
I have never really sat around and thought of someone I would like to meet in the world, but I enjoy meeting new people every day. I feel that you can learn something new from everyone you meet and I like to take advantage of that.
