Kandahar Air Field – Capt. Joshua Tyler, 755th Air Expeditionary Group Explosive Ordinance Disposal Operating Location B commander, re-enlists Staff Sgt. Andrew Petrulis, EOD craftsman, at Kandahar Air Field, Afghanistan. The EOD team took advantage of a continuation training opportunity creating a “fireball” detonation at a safe distance to make the re-enlistment more memorable. Petrulis was one of the first to reap the benefits of the new re-enlistment bonuses giving EOD personnel greater incentive to stay in the Air Force saving lives every day. He is deployed from the 355th Civil Engineer Squadron, Davis Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., and hails from Higganum, Conn.
