At right, retired Master Sgt. Gary Robbins stands with Lt. Col. Troy Appel, an officer and leader at the 932nd Maintenance Group, as he reads the autographs from fellow maintainers on a photo frame showing a flying C-40c aircraft he helped take care of at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois. The honored tradition of a photo signed by coworkers was a token of gratitude for 33 years of service and a job well done. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Christopher Parr)
