    Capt. David Berling, retired, spoke to members of the 944th Medical Squadron about his personal experiences, perseverance, and resilience with hopes of also motivating the audience, Aug. 8, 2015. Berling was involved in a private plane crash in 2007, four years after commissioning as a contracting officer in the Air Force. He was medically retired from active duty in 2009 and is currently working on recertifying his private pilot's license while training on his hand-cycle in hopes of being named to the U.S. Paralympic Team.
