The Hammer
SOUTHWEST ASIA (AFPN) -- The 16-pound steel ball hurtles into the sunset after being released by Capt. James Parker in an open, sandy area at this desert air base recently. The captain regularly practices his sport of the hammer throw in his off-duty time while deployed as deputy commander of the 380th Expeditionary Services Squadron. His goal is to return to the Olympics and finish strongly after competing in the games in 2004 and being named Air Force Athlete of the Year for that year. Captain Parker is deployed from Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, N.M. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Mike Hammond)
