Stephen Caldwell, 11th Civil Engineer Squadron Hazmat hazardous waste manager, shows Col. Carl Gramlick, 11th Wing commander, the cleaning supplies storage room at the Hazmat Pharmacy Nov. 2. Service members who PCS from Bolling Air Force Base can drop off unwanted cleaning supplies, and those arriving to base can save money by picking up these free supplies at the Hazmat Pharmacy. Environmental program managers escorted 11th Wing and 11th Mission Support Group leaders conducting spot checks in some of the areas that will be inspected during the upcoming Environmental, Safety and Occupational Health Compliance Assessment and Management Program inspection.
The U.S. Air Force Honor Guard Drill Team visited Goodfellow AFB in San Angelo, Texas, on Oct. 30 and performed for an audience of more than 200 permanent party and students.

On Oct. 31, the drill team performed at the Angelo State University football game halftime show, celebrating military appreciation night.

The USAF Honor Guard Drill Team is the traveling component of the USAF Honor Guard. The drill team personifies the integrity, discipline, teamwork, and professionalism of every Airman and every Air Force mission.

A 16-person performance featured a professionally choreographed sequence of show-stopping weapon maneuvers, precise tosses, complex weapon exchanges, and a walk through the gauntlet of spinning weapons.

The drill team turned in an incredible four-person performance centered on the stationary drill commander, flanked by four team members who simultaneously hurled their weapons over and around the commander — performing a sequence of events unmatched by any other professional military drill team.

Drill team members are selected from current USAF Honor Guard personnel. Members represent the best of each of the individual ceremonial flights and are all members who have developed the discipline required to be a member of this elite performance unit.

The U.S. Air Force Honor Guard selected Senior Airman Chance E. Borgeson, 17th Medical Group, Public Health Journeyman, hometown, Rogers, Texas, to be a member of this elite team. Airman Borgeson will join the Air Force Honor Guard team in February 2010.
