Reverse spotlight and big thanks goes to Tech. Sgt. Christopher Parr, who takes a moment out of his busy Unit Training Assembly to stand on the other side of the camera, which doesn't happen very often. He is a busy traditional reservist with massive responsibilities as the NCOIC of the 932nd PA office, which means he helps run the AFPIMS webpage, helps with inventory control, the many wing commander's calls, photography, writing and administrative work. He hopes to train more representatives to assist with the storytelling part of his job, which also assists recruiting. (U.S. Air Force photo/Maj. Stan Paregien)
