A military training instructor at JBSA-Lackland is breaking down barriers and trying to build a bridge of diversity and inclusion within the US Air Force.– We met with Brandon Rodriguez, a San Antonio native and a military training instructor at JBSA-Lackland, almost a year ago to learn his story.“It’s been amazing,” Rodriguez said. “Obviously, I am working at the 737 training group now. I was at the 321st training Squadron, so I moved up to the group level, and now I’m BMT Scheduler.
“I worried about the future of the Air Force, obviously, and being a military training instructor. Those things sometimes can be looked at in a negative light, but ultimately, I found that it’s all been looked at in a positive light. So, I was nervous and anxious at first. However, I’ve learned that it’s actually been overall very positive,” said Rodriguez.
After KSAT-12 aired Brandon’s story, not only did Good Morning America air his testimony, but it even caught the attention of the Undersecretary of the United States Air Force at the time, Gina Ortiz Jones. Rodriguez was flown to Arlington, Va., for the homecoming gala, where he had a chance to meet and speak with the under-secretary about several items like his experiences, basic military training and gender integration.
