作者: Jim Willis

Jim Willis rose to the rank of staff sergeant in the U.S. Air Force and retired as a master sergeant from the Air Force Reserves after nineteen years. He then became an intermediate paramedic and an emergency department technician and scrub technician in surgery. He’s retired and lives near Norman, Oklahoma. After graduation from high school in 1971, Jim Willis joined the Air Force and got out four years later as a Staff Sergeant. He continued to stay in the Air Force Reserves for the next 19 years, retiring as a Master Sergeant. The main reason for getting out of the military was to go to college, where he earned a BSEd in Elementary Education, a MSEd in Reading, and Certification above his Masters in Elementary Administration all at the University of Oklahoma. Jim spent the next 13 years in the classroom in two different districts. He was able to begin his career in administration after that, becoming an Elementary Administrator, where he spent the next 13 years in the same school district. Retiring from education, but not retiring from life, Jim went back and got his National Registry Certification and is currently working in a small Oklahoma community Emergency Medical Service as an Intermediate Paramedic.
