    A side-by-side comparison of two military portrait photographs, likely showing the same individual at different points in their career. The left photo shows a younger soldier in U.S. Army dress green uniform with a name tag reading 'WILSON', while the right photo shows an older, more senior servicemember in U.S. Air Force dress blue uniform with multiple service ribbons and senior NCO chevrons. The juxtaposition appears to document a military career progression.

    U.S. Air Force Reserve Master Sgt. Michael Wilson, 306th Rescue Squadron first sergeant, left, has roots in the U.S. Army beginning in 1989 at the age of 19, when the photo on the right was taken. He served in Operation Desert Storm as a private first class and re-enlisted in the Air Force Reserve on the 25th anniversary of the operation, on Jan. 16 this year. His job then was motor transportation operator – also known as an “88 Mike” – and his full-time job now is driving a truck for FedEx. (Courtesy photos)
