U.S. Air Force Col. Kimberley Ramos to be Honored at Retirement Ceremony

Whether serving in leadership positions in space, missile or information technology fields, Col. Kimberley Ramos has a deep appreciation for her 30 years in the U.S. Air Force. But as she prepares to retire, she counts the last four years as commander of the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) Detachment 157 on Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Daytona Beach Campus as her most rewarding. With 250 to 350 cadets on board at any given time, she has enjoyed “watching them grow, develop and mature.” “You watch students walk in the door who salute with their left hand or can’t tell their right from their left and then four years later, they walk out the door prepared to go into the greatest Air Force in the world,” said Ramos, who also teaches a preparation for active duty course to the cadets. A private retirement ceremony for Ramos is planned for July 26 at the Jim W. Henderson Administration & Welcome Center, although she’ll remain on through Sept. 8 during a transition period.
