JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash., - Senior Airman Tristan Barton, 446th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron (left), shares a laugh with his flightline expediter, Master Sgt. James Deal, during a unit training assembly exercise Dec. 5. The ride-along program gives junior Reservists a chance to job shadow their senior enlisted NCOs, part of the squadron's new lead by example philosophy, and to better prepare newer Reservists for future roles.
