U.S. Army Pfc. Steven Devito, 23, refastens the braking cables after landing a RQ-7B Shadow at Forward Operating Base Shank, Dec. 1, 2012. Devito enlisted in the army in 2011 as a Unmanned Aircraft Systems Maintainer and is serving with B Company, 173rd Special Troops Battalion, 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team in eastern Afghanistan. A native of Houston, Devito's occupation brought together his desire to join the military and his love for planes, something he learned from his father. “From the moment I can remember anything, my dad has always had remote-controlled planes,” said Devito. “I’ve always loved aircraft, anything that flies.” (U.S. Army photo by Sgt.
