Packing the chute

Tech Sgt. Christopher Schwan, 920th Rescue Wing, Patrick Air Force Base, Fla., Aircrew Flight Equipment Specialist reservist, holds up a parachute used by combat search and rescue operators here. Schwan was honored as the Recruit Fire Fighter of the Year for Brevard County. He was chosen out of 70 recruits for 2012. As a fire fighter, Schwan uses the same inspiration he uses here, saving lives. "I love both of my jobs, they both give me the opportunity to save a life," said Schwan. (U.S. Air Force photo/2nd Lt.
