Colonel's training saved his life

SOUTHWEST ASIA -- Lt. Col. Ed O’Neal briefs Airmen on tactics and techniques for survival at a forward-deployed location. In his briefings, the colonel takes lessons learned from his actions during a vicious terrorist attack in Saudi Arabia in 2004. He uses surveillance footage from the compound’s cameras where the attack occurred as visual aids during the briefing that show the terrorists in action and him getting shot. Colonel O’Neal is the U.S. Central Air Forces director of manpower and personnel. (U.S. Air Force photo by Capt. David Small)
