Photographer's Narrative

 

Practice makes perfect! That’s not just a saying for Airmen training to become Combat Controllers. As I photographed these young men while they went through a rigorous afternoon of weapons training I noticed none of them where ever satisfied. With each brass bullet casing that hit the floor every single one of them pushed harder and harder to sharpen their skills, while striving to be among some of the most elite operators in the U.S. Air Force.
