During the nearly two hour training mission, Guastella participated with pararescue jumpers and CROs of the 83 ERQS, also known as the “Pedros,” to see firsthand how they contribute to the war on terrorism here in Afghanistan. Guastella expressed his appreciation for their efforts and for their part in continuing to making the mission a success. (U.S. Air Force photo/SSgt Jeff Nevison)
