BAGRAM AIR BASE, Afghanistan –
Being deployed to Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan, didn’t mean a Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland financial officer couldn’t get a ceremony for when he pinned on captain.
Capt. Andrew Calloway, financial services flight commander for the 502nd Comptroller Squadron, pinned on his captain’s bars far from home May 29 while deployed to the 455th Expeditionary Maintenance Group as the group’s executive officer.
Calloway provides support for more than 550 F-16 maintainers at the 455th EMG who work 12- to 14-hour shifts around the clock, ensuring the effective application of airpower across the area of responsibility.
