Maj. James Lee, an instructor combat systems officer with the 451st Flying Training Squadron at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Fla., grew up with a passion for flying and medicine.  Lee did not believe he would get the opportunity to live out both dreams but a deployment to Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan in 2009 where he volunteered at the Craig Joint Theater Hospital rekindled his passion for medicine.  He will retire after 20 years as a combat systems officer with more than 3,000 flying hours in a variety of aircraft to pursue his second dream: medical school.  Lee will start over as a student of podiatry at Samuel Merritt University at Oakland, Calif. in August. (Courtesy Photo)
