Re-enlisting with a bang

Capt. Joshua Tyler, 755th Air Expeditionary Group Explosive Ordnance Disposal Operation Location-Bravo commander, re-enlists Staff Sgt. Andrew Petrulis, EOD craftsman, at Kandahar Air Field, Afghanistan, Oct. 27. The EOD team took advantage of a continuation training opportunity creating a "fireball" detonation at a safe distance to make the re-enlistment more memorable. Sergeant Petrulis was one of the first to reap the benefits of the new re-enlistment bonuses giving EOD personnel greater incentive to stay in the Air Force saving lives every day. He is deployed from the 355th Civil Engineer Squadron, Davis Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., and hails from Higganum, Conn. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Samuel Morse/Released)
