sports day kickball

That’s what I’m talking about team! Airman 1st Class Ronald Jones, 418th Flight Test Squadron, aviation resource management, takes perfect form during a Sports Day kickball game. Although he and his team didn’t win the game, they would have taken home the trophy for team spirit had there been one. Airmen on the kickball field seemed to be reminded how difficult is it to kick and catch a big, bouncy ball. “Kicking adds a whole different element [to the game],” laughed Airman Jones. “You’ve got the ground, the bounce, the wind – lots of things that you have to pay attention to!” (Air Force photo by Rob Densmore)

Damon Marshburn from the 412th Operations Support Squadron, air crew flight equipment specialist, who competed in the 5K. “I’m having a lot of fun.” (Air Force photo by Rob Densmore)
