Family showed up to witness Lt. Col. Stan Paregien perform the oath of enlistment for Bernard Collins, as his recruiting specialist, Tech Sgt. Brittany Paus looks on in background.
"This is my WHY...Today is proof... When you Fight the Good Fight for others... The ripple of victory does follow," said 932nd Airlift Wing recruiter Tech Sgt. Brittany Paus.
This veteran and his family patiently trusted the administrative process, which took about two years from when they started his application.

Congratulations Tech. Sgt. Brittany Paus on her background work on behalf of Sergeant Collins and the Collins Family as he starts his next chapter as a Citizen Airman and Air Reserve Technician in the maintenance world!
