SHAW AIR FORCE BASE, S.C. --
The Weasel of the Week series asks Team Shaw to share their experiences, Air Force spirit and personalities. We sat down with Airman 1st Class Shadrica Hunt, 20th Medical Group public health technician, to get to know her and her job. Hunt in-processes and out-processes 20th Fighter Wing members, provides travel medicine information and tracks overseas PCS medical requirements. She plans on working towards earning Senior Airman below the zone and eventually becoming a nurse or physician assistant.
