Senior Airman Catherine Bernabe works in Aircrew Flight Equipment for the 5th Operations Support Squadron. Originally from California, Bernabe became a member of Team Minot in October 2018.
“Something I like about Minot is the community because there are individuals that go to the extreme extent posting alerts, events, notifications on social media and passing them along by word of mouth so everyone is not left out knowing about the notification,” said Bernabe. “Something I like about my unit is that our chain of command takes time out of their day to come to see how everyone is.”
Bernabe’s responsibilities involve packing parachute backpacks, being a trainer for the back style ejection seat parachute. “My favorite part of the mission is seeing the strategic bombers take off into the sky, knowing they are protecting our nation,” said Bernabe. “My motivation is my wife Araceli. Her knowledge from past military experiences gave me the endurance I need to fully understand the military lifestyle and definitely helped me understand a lot quicker along the way, allowing me to succeed at my job faster than I expected.”
Bernabe spends her free time with her wife, friends, family, pets, and going to lakes.
Her goal is to re-enter the medical field to work in pediatrics either as a military member or civilian.
