Active to Reserve: Overnight
Staff Sgt. Byron Landon, who is a repair and reclamation technician assigned to the 707th Maintenance Squadron, explains the procedures of a B-52 Stratofortress tire inspection to Leslie Draffin, who is a reporter for KTAL Channel 6 in Shreveport, La., at Barksdale Air Force Base., La., Nov. 28, 2011. Draffin was at Barksdale with her cameraman Chang Howang to report on Landon, who moved straight from being an Active Duty Airman assigned to the 2nd Maintenance Squadron to an Air Reserve Technician working for the 707th MXS at Barksdale. Landon made the transition from Active to Reserve almost overnight, all the while continuing his employment in the same shop. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Jeff Walston/Released)
