Virginia Air National Guard Recruiting — Local services in Hampton

As the parent of a new airman, I watched my son navigate the process of joining the airforce and learn the proper procedures. He loved working with his recruiter, Ssgt Ewa Lach. He always commented how encouraging and supportive she was.

She was very straightforward, gave me the right information that I needed. She put me in contact, face to face, with my unit right away so I would be ready and knew fellow members when I show up for drill weekend. Even try to get me a bonus, but I was unlucky, since I was a year too late. However, she gave me a nice camo backpack. If only I had her all those other times that I transfer bases. All I have to say, knowing nothing about the VANG. I definitely got an outstanding first impression of the VANG, by meeting and working...
