Shane Tiffany

Shane joined the Air Force in 2019, serving as an Aircraft Hydraulic System Specialist. He said his proudest career moment came when he was able to salve a disaster relief mission to Haiti following the devastating earthquakes there. He managed to find a bypass anomaly in a hydraulic pump pressure switch, fixing the problem so the aircraft could return to its mission. Shane says, being a wounded warrior involves so many different things. “For me, recovery has involved both mental and physical aspects. If I could talk to a wounded warrior, I would tell them that regardless of your disability, you can find new activities that bring you joy, even if you’ve lost the ability to do things you previously enjoyed.”
