  • Voices of the VaANG: Tech. Sgt. Mark Green

  • Voices of the VaANG: Airman Faith Coffelt

    “My dad is a paramedic at home in Boyce, Virginia. Growing up, he would come home and tell stories about what he had seen and the calls he had run, so I developed a fascination for medical things."

  • Voices of the VaANG: Staff Sgt. Edward Porter III

    “I’ve been here [in the Virginia Air National Guard] since 2015. I’ve also served in the Reserve and was active duty for 10 years, but I was not doing this. I was in the medical field and I’m a CT Scan technician; I work at Sentara [Healthcare]. I’m from Virginia and live in Newport News, so I

  • Voices of the VaANG: Tech. Sgt. William Marioth

The Guard is an opportunity to get some police-type experience."

  • Voices of the VaANG: Staff Sgt. Cody Amspacher

    “On my dad’s side of the family, we’re kind of all into construction. I had family members who taught me throughout the years when I was growing up. When I was in middle school and high school, I used to skateboard, and a couple family members and I would build skate ramps."

  • Voices of the VaANG: Staff Sgt. Jonquil Willard

    “Being in ammo is like a subculture within a subculture, and I absolutely fell in love with it. The job, the people, the atmosphere. We’re removed from the rest of the base, and we have our own way of doing things out here. It’s very family oriented."
