Photographer's Narrative

 

This was my first official Air Force photo assignment. I spent the day fast rope training with a pararescue team. I was able to learn a lot about the pararescue mission and the airmen that do it. I feel lucky that I'm able to meet Airmen from all around the Air Force and live a day in their lives. It's the greatest perk of my job.
