I’m TSgt Michael Runyan. I am an active duty enlisted Air Force recruiter in Upland, CA. I have been in the Air Force 11 years and have been stationed in Northern California(Travis AFB), Maryland(JB Andrews) and now Southern California (Upland). I’m married, have two boys, a little girl, and a french bulldog. I'm originally from Maryland and after I graduated high school I worked in kitchens and went to community college and realized I needed something MORE. I wanted a better way to pay for school, to travel, to learn how to DO something, to become independent and create real opportunities for myself.

I reached out to my Air Force recruiter and came in with a Mechanical Aptitude contract. I picked the job Air Transportation at basic training and my first job at Travis AFB had me working Space-Available flights. Space-Available flights are when an aircraft leaves a base and there’s empty seats on board. Anyone on leave or retired from the military can catch that flight for FREE. From there I moved into a vehicle operations office, teaching classes on how to drive loaders used to load aircraft. I then put in a base of preference request and moved back to Maryland to do presidential support logistics, moving all necessary vehicles and cargo for Secret Service, White House Communications as well as all foreign dignitary missions via airlift. After a few years I put in for recruiting and to move back to California and now I’m here to help YOU get started. Text me directly to setup an appointment. I’m happy to answer any questions you have to help you get started.

I’m TSgt Joel Blair. I am an Active Duty Enlisted Air Force Recruiter in Upland, CA. I Joined the United States Air Force in September of 2010, 3 days before my 20^th birthday. The past 10 years have taken me all across the globe from North Dakota and Washington State to England, Spain, Turkey, Italy, Greece, and Africa until finally landing me here in beautiful Southern California. Traveling has always been an interest and passion of mine so being paid to serve my country and see the world has been the largest reward I ever could have asked for.

My first job upon entering Active Duty was performing inspections on aircraft and support equipment as a Non Destructive Inspection Specialist (2A7X2). I utilized various inspection techniques such as Radiography (X-Rays), Ultrasonic, Magnet Particle, Liquid Dye Penetrant, and Spectroscopy to verify structural integrity and ensure engine health. The airframes I’ve been lucky enough to work on are the B-52 Stratofortress, KC-135 Stratotanker, C-130 Hercules, F-15 Eagle, UH-1N Huey, UH-72 Lakota, and the HH-60 Pave Hawks. One day I hope to be able to crawl around on an A-10 Warthog.

As I progressed in my Air Force Career I branched out and explored different job duties. I managed the Flight line Driver program ensuring everyone on the flight line was properly trained and certified to be there. I was the maintenance squadron Emergency Operations Center Liaison coordinating assistance from maintenance sections in events of fire, flooding, or other natural disasters. And now I’m here as a recruiter to help YOU get started with your Air Force journey. Contact me now to set up an appointment!
