How to spend a million
BALAD AIR BASE, Iraq -- Tech. Sgt. Jim Bane helps a local vendor unload furniture. Contracting officers are not allowed off base, so local vendors must bring samples to contracting officers here as well as deliver the supplies to the base. Sergeant Bane is assigned to the 332nd Expeditionary Contracting Squadron. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. A.C. Eggman)
