Airman 1st Class Jordan Clark is Airfield Management for the 5th Operations Support Squadron. She is originally from Raynham, Massachusetts and became a member of Team Minot in April 2020.

“I really like the scenery here. It’s a lot different from Massachusetts, but the sunsets here are really pretty.”

Clark’s job is making sure that all takeoffs and landings can proceed without incident. She does everything from keeping runways clear, communicating hazards to pilots, and making sure our aircraft maintain their ability to take off at a moment’s notice.

Her favorite part of the job is getting to see all of the different aircraft in the Air Force.

“I especially like the people I work with. We all get along really well.”

Clark also just got back from maternity leave.

“I won’t lie, it’s tough,” Clark said. “I don’t sleep a lot, especially being on swing shift. It’s nowhere near easy. I am married, but he’s stationed in Florida, up until next month, then he’ll be here. Being a single mom and active duty, it’s a 24/7 job. It’s: baby, come to work, baby etc... Sleep is a myth, I run on caffeine. But I don’t regret a thing. I'm still enjoying all of it. Even though he (her son) has made my life a lot busier, I still love my job and don’t regret a thing.”
