Airman 1st Class Aquila Rogers is a Separation Retirement Technician for the 5th Comptroller Squadron. Originally from Trinidad and Tobago, Rogers became a member of Team Minot in October 2019.
Rogers’ responsibilities include helping retired or separating military members by processing their travel vouchers, making corrections to their pay record, ensuring they get paid when leaving and answering any questions they may have in regards to their retirement or separation.
“There’s a lot that I love about my unit,” said Rogers. “Mainly how family-oriented it is, it’s kinda like a second family to me.”
Rogers’ favorite part of the mission is being part of the nuclear triad and ensuring everyone’s money is accounted for. “ I feel like being part of the nuclear triad is pretty cool, and how we support the mission is very substantial,” said Rogers. “Making sure that everyone is good financially so that they’re able to carry out their job is very important to me because it can have a lot of effect on mental health for some people. And if we don’t have mentally ready people to carry out the more major parts of the mission, then we don’t have a ready force.”
Rogers draws his motivation from his pursuit of his dream career.
“I want to go into beauty and cosmetic marketing,” said Rogers. “I have a passion for beauty and fashion. I was a makeup artist before I joined, I want to go back to that industry.”
Rogers’ goals include progressing his Air Force career, travel, finish school and immerse himself more in beauty education and makeup.
In his free time, Rogers enjoys practicing the art of ballet.
