Faces of Fairchild: Staff Sgt. Windham McSwain

As a specialist in Fairchild’s Equal Opportunity Office, McSwain said his goal is “to eradicate unlawful discrimination.”

To do that, he coordinates human resources training, counseling and other services for Air Force employees.

“This is the best job in the military because it’s so people-oriented,” said McSwain, a gregarious 25-year-old from Albany, Georgia, who previously worked in plane maintenance.

“I’ve always wanted to join the military,” he said. “I’m the first one in my family, so it’s a bit of a culture shock.”
