U.S. Marine Brig. Gen. Steven R. Rudder, left, reenlists U.S. Navy Master Chief Petty Officer Alfredo Chavez, center, atop Mount Suribachi during a professional military education tour April 11 on Iwo To, Japan, as his brother, U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Adrian Chavez, looks on. “Being in two different military branches, I never thought I’d be stationed at the same place as my brother,” said Adrian. “Nor did I think I’d get to see this point in his career and witness another branch’s history with him.” Adrian is an air medical evacuation planner with 18th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron, 18th Operations Group, 18th Wing. Alfredo is the command master chief for 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, III Marine Expeditionary Force. Rudder is the commanding general of 1st MAW. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Anthony J.
