I joined the drone team because I felt that I wanted to enhance my purpose of flying not just for leisure and business but also for humanitarian assistance. I am glad that I have accomplished something significant, to redeem myself, despite this pandemic struggles. From this day onwards, I am ready to fulfill the on-call duties assigned by the PAF Reserve Unit.
TSG RIVERA
Fulfilling my duties and responsibilities as a reservist gives meaning and purpose to my life. To sacrifice one’s life for the benefit of other people and of the country is a reflection of an unconditional love and service rendered as public servant. I will always be thankful for the opportunity to use my radio communication skills and be part of EAGLECOM unit!
