Sergeant John Wyatt served in the US Air Force from 1985 to 1992, with a significant assignment at Ruppsertsweiler, Germany, the NATO war HQ. During his time in Ruppsertsweiler, Sergeant Wyatt witnessed the historic moment when East Germany broke down the wall separating East and West Germany, marking the end of an era of division. One of Sergeant Wyatt's notable achievements during this period was his pivotal role in modernizing the Telecommunication Systems Control Facility. He was singled out by the NATO integrated systems inspection team as the best technician they had seen in all of NATO, leading to the best rating ever given to a NATO Communications facility.

"I was a military dependent all of my young life. I joined the Air Force in 1976 after high school. First assignment? Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska. My dad was also stationed there. It was my first year of active duty and my dad's last year before he retired after serving for 27 years. It was a great year, but the highlight was my dad and I were the first father and daughter to join the Air Force Sergeants Association (AFSA). The story was printed with a photo, in the base newspaper and is part of AFSA history. Very proud moment for two Airman. Aim High! Fly-Fight-Win! I am very proud to have served my country."

"I am a 100% disabled Vet. After 17 years in the military, even with my broken body, I can honestly say I would still do it all over again. I am also from a long line of Vets. My dad, Vietnam, his little sister and brother. My 2 grandfathers, who both fought in the Pacific, great grandfathers, and on back even further."

“The USAF taught me respect is important on many levels. From the start of basic, to my last squadron, our teamwork created respect and camaraderie among diverse individuals from a variety of backgrounds. We learned to respect and appreciate our differences, remaining focused together on our team’s objectives. I learned to respect the process, keeping attention to detail.”

"My training and experience in the United States Navy has led me to conclude that atop the list of things keeping me at Lumen is the integrity of the people surrounding me. We all have our personal definition of what integrity actually is and for me it’s doing the right things for the right reasons, always. At Lumen, specifically within the Public Sector, I’m surrounded by
people with this shared perspective.
