    Drew Bowers, a Security Forces specialist assigned to the 165th Security Forces Squadron,165th Airlift Wing, Georgia Air National Guard, is promoted to the rank of Tech. Sgt. prior to participating in a cold-water immersion as part of the Air National Guard's cold weather operations course at Camp Ripley Training Center, Minn., Feb. 7, 2025. Students participated in a six-day, five-night Field Training Exercise where they traveled on foot in subzero temperatures, using land navigational skills, to build camps featuring either a 10-man Arctic tent or thermal shelters made from materials found in nature. Students were comprised of mostly Security Forces specialists, but also included a Maintenance Group Commander, Physician Assistant, Cyber Communications Specialist, and a Public Affairs Specialist.  The course taught service members to conduct mission-essential tasking in extreme cold environments.  (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Audra Flanagan)
