Brig. Gen. Bryan J. Benson, commander, 380th Air Expeditionary Wing, speaks to Maj. Brian Vance's family via a laptop computer screen during the major's promotion ceremony March 31, 2010, at an undisclosed base in Southwest Asia. The laptop allowed the Vance family to attend the ceremony virtually through a Voice over Internet Protocol or VoIP connection. While Major Vance was deployed his family was at home in Virginia.
