0:41 “Number 1: You HAVE to know how to do your job.”
no handouts.
Do you?
Yeah imagine a pilot not know how to do his/her job. That would be a nightmare. It's definitely not a very forgiving job.
@@davidh9844 do you??
@@johnanderson6946 He doesn't have a job.
Thank you for your service and paving the way for women! You are a true trailblazer!
“humankind”
men will never say, "he paved the way for men". say "mankind" or "humankind"
I was stationed with "TC" from 1984-1986 at Castle AFB, CA. When she became an aircraft commander on the KC-135A, I was the first air refueler (Boom Operator) on her crew. One of the closest friends I ever had during my 20 year Air Force career. Congrats on you retirement TC....p.s.
To my former Air Force aircraft commander, "Pilot, boom stowed, leaving position." (smile)
Thank you for your service. My niece is in the Airforce fixing planes. I'm so proud of her😊
Castle AFB - Atwater CA. My dad was also stationed there and retired at Castle. He spent 33 years and worked with B-52 Bombers. He has passed on - to all the Military Men/Women - Thank you and God Bless.
@@LilliLamour I loved my FB-111 back in the 80's
Wow! Great photo of her when young in the cockpit. Great service to mankind. 😮😮
Thank you for you service and congratulations on a great career. Blue skies!
Wow. She deserves that tribute …..so proud. 34 years
Thank you for your service and example of women in the military.
as a retired veteran myself tha mindset with certain ethnic and gender groups is few and far between.
great. for ms. claiborne as a person, citizen. congratulations. as an individual. 85%+ of her 'sista's" do not have that mindset.
she is correct in that in aviation (like surgery) you have to "know your job".
so ask yourself why had there not been a African American tactical pilot t in the US military UNTIL 2019?
why? simply not qualified in that "unforgiving" field.
and "no" the political easy answer of "racism" and discrimination is not valid, true or accurate. it sounds PC "though" to claim.
IF ms. claiborne had an organization of competency of the sky's" i would support her and that organization 110% and more.
of ALL persons. this "sista's" fo the skys is BS. fringe DEI, probably dangerous and putting non-healthy, possibly dangerous
extortion and demands on US airlines to hire marginally qualified (at best) pilots.
so glad after retiring i moved out of the US. i live in another developed country where competency, education is:
JOB #1
not DEI or "sista's" of the sky marketing garbage and BS.
Good for her! Congratulations on a career to be proud of and a life well lived
Huge Congratulations to her. Thank you for paying the way!
paving.
The first Black woman Air Force pilot was 1981? Less than 45 years ago, we had segregation still enforced in practice, if not in law. Yet people keep telling me that "racism has been dead since 1965, or 1954, or 1865m or 1776, or whatever. But we can still see the effects today, from things that happened in our lifetimes.
Much respect
Good to hear good news. Congrats to you, Captain! What a shining example you are for all women/girls. Thank you for your service.
"everyone" not just women and girls. young boys should also be inspired by her
Thank you for teaching and showing how to have a better American foundation
Congrats on your retirement! What an inspiration and a trailblazer for women. Love her attitude do your job and don’t expect handouts! Her smile is infectious!
Well done, Captain Claiborne! And congratulations.
Congratulations and thank you Ma'am for your service. *You have an amazingly beautiful smile!* Enjoy your retirement!
About time!!!! Congratulations and I wish you many more firsts in your upcoming career!
Thank you for your service.
The USAF is basically the largest airline pilot training program.
Excellent biographical movie picture
I can see Kimberly Elise in the starring role.🎉🎉🎉🎉
I know she has some stories there. I hope she writes a book. She truly paved a way for females within the military. Thank you Captain. Enjoy retirement. ❤
Agree about a book...she needs to write one.
The funny thing about comments like these is pretending that she really paved anything. We let her in. The people you hate so much paved the way, she just met the prerequisites and qualifications everyone else did. Nothing special here.
@@KainsAddiction just be happy for her and stop being miserable to all of us :)
@@buildintotrains Just wait, kid. Just wait.
@@KainsAddictionwho are you in “we”? Likely a nobody who made no life changing decisions for anyone…
Thank you for your service, Captain Theresa Claiborne! Salute! 🎉

My lovely sis.Congrats❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The funny thing is that despite folks thinking DEI stands for Didn't Earn It, the fact is that most black families raise their children to put in above average efforts in their professional endeavors, because racism being what it it, we know that our skin color exposes us to inequitable scrutiny and doubts about our abilities. Where a mediocre white person can skate by professionally, black professionals UNDERSTAND that they must be THE BEST. We are not allowed to be mediocre. So when you observe us in these capacities, you should know that there aren't many that can compete. We are a competitive people. The same spirit we bring to most sports stadiums that leads to our dominance, is the same spirit we bring professionally when bias is removed as a barrier to entry.
We don't need nor want handouts. Just a level playing field. If there were level playing fields, corporate boardrooms would look just like the NBA. We play to win!
God bless you and congratulations on your accomplishments. Thank you for your service.
Awesome story. Thank you for your service.
