Kelsi Carney - Staff Sergeant/E-5 at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma

B.S. Meteorology, 2016

Kelsi enlisted in the Air Force during her last year at 澳门六合彩历史记录. She went to basic training in San Antonio, TX, technical training in Mississippi, and now has been stationed at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma for the last four years as a staff sergeant/E-5. In Nov 2020, Kelsi has been featured in a military recruiting video.

Kelsi came to 澳门六合彩历史记录 from Cedar Rapids, IA, because the school offers a meteorology degree. "I found 澳门六合彩历史记录 and it was the first and only campus I toured because I immediately knew it was the school I wanted," she said. "I loved the small campus; you're able to walk to any class within a reasonable amount of time. I also loved the huge gym and I liked that it wasn't in a crowded city."

She said that 澳门六合彩历史记录 prepared her for this career by giving her background knowledge in weather, which is a big part of air traffic control work. "I'm able to teach my trainees and peers deeper knowledge into weather processes and things to look for to know what our weather may become (for example, if our temperature and dew point are equal or nearly equal, you can likely expect some sort of precipitation to occur)," she said. "Beyond my degree, being able to live on my own at 澳门六合彩历史记录 prepared me greatly for life outside college, understanding how to budget for bills and how to be an independent adult essentially."

Carney said her goal is to be a chief master sergeant/E-9 by the time she retires. She said reaching her goal would pull her a bit out of her career field for broader leadership. "I'd like to become a command chief, allowing me to be the chief of an entire base," she said. "Shooting even further, I'd love to be the chief master sergeant of the Air Force one day, meaning I'd be the highest enlisted member in the force. I'd work out of the Pentagon and visit bases all around the globe to discuss the changes airmen would like to see under my command."

鈥淎fter graduating with my meteorology degree, I decided to join the oceanography graduate program at Texas A&M University. After graduating, I was hired as a physical oceanographer with a consulting company in the Houston, TX area. I serve as an observational analyst for my company's EddyWatch and SurveyWatch programs. Every day, I look at various types of ocean data, including our deployed drifting buoys, rig-mounted ADCPs (Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers) as well as satellite imagery to identify circulation features and flows in the Gulf of Mexico and offshore northeastern South America. I also perform real-time ocean monitoring for clients, primarily in the oil and gas industry, and provide a 3-5 day forecast for conditions so they can make important decisions regarding operations.鈥�

"Our staff consists of only 5 people, so I get to do a huge variety of activities! Most are related to biology (my undergraduate degree). My routine includes activities ranging from educational programs, to marketing, to animal care, to site maintenance, to invasive plant removal, and even some erosion management. My degree does really come in handy when it comes down to this point, as I studied moss and erosion for my thesis."

Ryan Wichman - Meteorologist, WTOL-TV (CBS affiliate) in Toledo, OH

B.S. Meteorology

"I love forecasting the weather following our snowiest winter in the past 140 years, but the past few weeks I put on my 'station scientist' hat to cover our Lake Erie algae problem. It looks like I will be doing a lot of stories on that over the next few years (or longer) alongside my typical weather duties. I must admit I enjoy the scientific reporting! It has been pretty fun so far - and it's good to get out of the office!"

Natalie Jackson

B.S. Meteorology

"This summer, and most summers, I choose seasonal work and jump from place to place bringing my passion with me. This year happens to be at this awesome college! My objective has been to share how to predict past and upcoming weather patterns by tracking clouds, temperature and wind (CTW) through observation. Most of the time I'm instructing on a wilderness trip where technology is not present and or at a camp. Some locations have included the MN, WI, CA, IN, MT, AK and Saskatchewan Canada. Some programs can go for 45 days and participants really get a chance to see patterns for a specific season."
