GOODFELLOW AIR FORCE BASE, Texas — Tag! You’re it, says Brandon as he tags his younger brother Damian.
Brandon turns and runs away.
Damian chases after his big brother Brandon.
No. TAG! You’re it! Damian calls back.
Transitioning into adulthood, Damian enlisted into the Air Force as a Defender. The Airman 1st Class was assigned to the 17th Security Forces Squadron at Goodfellow Air Force Base, Texas.
After spending some time in college, Damian’s older brother Brandon followed suit and enlisted into the Air Force as a Defender. In a completely random coincidence, Airman 1st Class Brandon Krogman was also assigned to the 17th SFS at Goodfellow.
“It’s pretty rare for two brothers to work the same job, during the same shift and at the same gate,” said Damian. “I think it’s pretty cool having my blood brother here.”
In a rare and unique situation, roles quickly reversed for the brothers.
“Growing up, it was me teaching Damian,” said Brandon, who is about two years older than Damian. “But here, Damian was first on board to join the Air Force, and now I’m following in his footsteps.”
