Airman’s Spotlight: Staff Sgt. Christopher Johnson

Staff Sgt. Christopher Johnson, honor guard NCO in charge, at Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas, enjoys how his special duty continues to broaden his perspective of the U.S. Air Force and his range of experience. He notes once he or his team don their blues, they stop representing themselves alone and begin symbolizing the Air Force as a whole. “Honor guard is a high-visibility job on base, and off base even more so,” Johnson said. “Sometimes we’re the first interaction some civilians have with the military at all.” (U.S. Air Force graphic by Senior Airman Anne McCready)
