Getting highly classified material from point A to point B efficiently and securely is what this job is all about, and for the couriers at Wright-Patterson that means delivering this material throughout a 12-state region within the Midwest and northeast United States.

Hartman said that traveling with this highly classified material can be stressful, but they have many safeguards in place to ensure security.

“We adhere to strict rules and checklists that ensure we flawlessly complete our mission as any failure could cause exceptionally grave danger to our nation’s security,” said Hartman.

Tech Sgt. Rommel P. Angeles, station NCO in charge, said that when he is tasked to carry out a mission, he mitigates stress by staying focused and recollecting his Air Force ambassadorship skills.

“I strive to remain collective but on high alert when I am traveling. Flexibility is key to having responsibility of such important information,” said Angeles.

Airmen of any Air Force specialty code are eligible to apply if they are qualified for the defense courier service. For more information on DCS special duties, refer to https://www.ustranscom.mil/cmd/associated/dcd/.
