    A U.S. Army soldier identified by his name tape as 'Barnes' poses in front of a Boeing CH-47 Chinook tandem-rotor helicopter displayed as a static exhibit on what appears to be a military installation. The soldier is wearing Army Combat Uniform (ACU) in digital camouflage pattern with sergeant major rank insignia visible on his cap. The setting appears to be an arid, desert environment consistent with a southwestern U.S. military base.

    The first Soldier to undergo the first total rehabilitation of a full set of teeth supported by four implants at Fort Bliss, Sgt. 1st Class John Barnes, interim first sergeant, C Company, 2nd Battalion, 501st General Support Aviation Battalion, smiles in front of his unit’s hangar, Dec. 13. The operation, also the first in El Paso, Texas, which utilized immediate loading (meaning a fixed temporary set of teeth were fitted to the dental arch) was a combined effort from prosthodontist and laboratory technicians at the Fort Bliss Dental Activity and oral and maxillofacial surgeons at William Beaumont Army Medical Center.
