Kylee Demers

Kylee Demers was a combat forecaster in the Air Force, deploying twice in support of OIF. She also provided weather support during both Hurricane Katrina and Rita. Kylee has been awarded the 3rd Air Support Operations Group Airman of the Year and Air Force Level Dodson Awards for her service in Iraq. Kylee feels that her background in weather forecasting has been “helpful in knowing when to bring the horses in and out of the weather, and how to be prepared for the changes in temperature.”
