Chief Master Sgt. Paul Koester (top left), pararescue functional manager for the Battlefield Airmen Branch at Pacific Air Forces Headquarters here, poses with deployed team members at Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan, in 2005. Koester deployed to KAF to support combat search and rescue missions. The 58-year-old pararescueman re-enlisted Dec. 7 under Gun Turret One aboard the retired USS Missouri at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The ceremony commemorated the 72nd anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor and initiated the onset of his final tour of duty after 39 years of service. Koester joined the Air Force in 1974.
