Tech. Sgt. David Dean, 919th Maintenance Squadron, goes up for a spike during a recent practice session on Eglin Air Force Base. Sergeant Dean, an Air Reserve Technician at Duke Field, has landed a spot on the U.S. Armed Forces beach volleyball team. Departing July 1 for two weeks of training at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, N.C., Sergeant Dean then moves on to Rio de Janiero, Brazil, to compete in the Military World Games. Military teams from more than 250 countries will be competing in the games held once every four years. (U.S. AIr Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Samuel King Jr.)
