Practice makes perfect
EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. – Senior Airman Michael Gray (center), Airman 1st Class Joshua Titus, Krystle Orth, Christopher Hern (left), Eric Epifanio and Kurtis Clayton, Honor Guard, practice movements for military funerals, Jan. 20. “Working in a support role Airmen can lose their sense of perspective as to why they serve,” said Senior Master Sgt. Thomas Walker, 96th Air Base Wing, on what it means to serve in the honor guard. “Being able to step outside the career field and daily, mundane taskings and serve a higher purpose gives them a greater sense of duty, commitment and perspective that pays huge dividends when they return to their normal job. Ask any Airmen who has ever served in the Honor Guard and they will tell you it was one of the greatest experiences of their career (whether they were volunteers or volun"tolds"). The sense of fulfillment, job satisfaction and pride are unmatched.” The next honor guard rotation begins Feb. 1 through July 31. Deadline to sign-up is Jan. 25. To get involved and volunteer contact your first sergeant or chief. (U.S. Air Force photo/ Airman 1st Class Anthony Jennings)
