    Chief bounces back from hard times, close call with suicide

    I’ve been a photographer in the Air Force for 21 years now, and over that time I’ve met a lot of people from a lot of different backgrounds. I’ve found that everybody has a story to tell, and occasionally I come across a story that really resonates with me. Chief Master Sgt. Stacy Gilman’s story is one.
  • Magnuson meets her family

    Finding Closure: Deployment helps Reserve Citizen Airman learn about her father, connect with family

    Capt. Sandrela Magnuson never really knew her father. After all, she was only 2 years old the last time she saw him in 1985. But for the last 34 years, the dad she never knew was never far away in her thoughts. “Was he alive?” “Where did he live?” “Did her ever try to look for me?” “Did he have any other children?” The questions endlessly rambled around in her mind without answers.

    Navigating the retirement application process

    Retiring from the Air Force Reserve is a significant, emotional event, filled with anticipation and uncertainty. Because Airmen only retire once in their lifetime, they have no past experience to serve as a resource, and typically learn what is required as they go through the process.

    Enlisted aircrew members critical to C-130 Hercules flight testing

    Without much fanfare, Air Force Reserve enlisted aircrew members stationed at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, are helping make sure C-130s that come out of depot maintenance are ready to go back into service. These Reservists showcase that the Reserve is a lethal, operational force, which provides critical capabilities both at home and abroad.
  • Master Sgt. Brandan Keel joined running groups to combat his depression after finding out his wife got pregnant by another man. One of the groups incorporated running training with spiritual education and has been a major factor in turning his life around.

    Running With Faith: An Airman's journey to redemption

    Standing there with a knife in hand and cold-hearted from the most devastating news of his life, Master Sgt. Brandan “Troy” Keel contemplated an irreversible decision. Looking into his wife’s eyes after learning she was pregnant with another man’s baby, he couldn’t fathom living anymore. Suicide, he thought, was imminent.
  • B-52 pilot reconnects with retired aircraft after more than a decade

    'Wise Guy' Returns: Reservists help bring B-52 back to life

Aaron Hedrick helped deliver the B-52 Stratofortress nicknamed “Wise Guy” to the 309th Aerospace Maintnenance and Regeneration Group at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona, for decommissioning in 2008, he took the time to scribble a message on a clipboard and leave it in the cockpit.
