    A worker wearing a yellow hard hat and olive/green t-shirt is descending into or emerging from an underground excavation or utility vault via a metal ladder. The work site is surrounded by yellow safety railings/barricades, indicating proper confined space entry protocols are in place. The surrounding ground shows dry soil, sparse grass, and what appears to be a paved area nearby.

    Cable and antenna systems specialists of the 212th Engineering Installation Squadron run fiber optic cable on July 29, 2021. The fiber is run through underground conduit with the aid of a technology fairly new to the Air Force. The commercially available equipment uses pressurized air to feed communications cable hundreds and thousands of feet, increasing the efficiency and productivity of these Airmen, while simutaneously improving communications capabilities on the installation.
