    Lt. Col. Matthew Simmons, 80th Flying Training Wing U.S. senior national representative at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas, holds a piece of debris Dec. 11, 2017, that came from his first drone "kill" during a June 20, 2005, training mission over White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. Simmons used that shrapnel to illustrate the importance of aircraft armament systems Airmen. The colonel is the second combat aviator to speak to Airmen in such session, which is intended to expose the young Airmen to the operational side of the Air Force and how their career field fits into the overall mission. The initiative creates a different way for Airmen to learn more about their day-to-day function in the Air Force. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Kyle E. Gese)
