The Effect 9/11 had on John Adam's Career Path
Document Type
Personal Reflection
What were you doing on 9/11? (Or, What was your interviewee doing on 9/11?)
Fairfax, VA. 4th grade student, Dad was career DoD and worked in the pentagon.
How did 9/11 affect you personally and or professionally?
Dad was supposed to be in that part of the Pentagon that morning for a meeting, but missed the bus. That happenstance kept him out of the building when AA77 crashed into it. Since then, I've traded the 'commercial' side of aerospace and got to work with the defense side to continue to improve the tools our warfighters need to defend our nation.
What do you want future generations of professionals, particularly those going into your field, to know about 9/11?
That the threat is still real, and complicated with additional needs regarding near-peer threats. The defense industry needs a new wave of innovative professionals to ensure our continued national security.
