Lt. Col. Arnold R. Mosley Retirement | San Antonio Event Photography

Lt. Col. Arnold R. Mosley Retirement Event:

Military retirement is an occasion which prompts reflection over various phases of the military member’s career. Batts Media Group was honored to be asked to capture the momentous event for Lt. Col. Arnold R. Mosley. Lt Col Mosley’s journey in the military is one that reflects both individual perseverance and a passion for people. His ability to galvanize, grow and guide airmen was reflected in this ceremony.

Lieutenant Colonel Mosley entered the Air Force through Enlisted Basic Military Training on 16 September, 1987. He began his career as a Personnel Technician stationed at Torrejon Air Base, Spain. In 2002, he was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant after successfully completing Officer Training School at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama.

Prior to his current assignment, Lieutenant Colonel Mosley served as the Commander, 436th Force Support Squadron, Dover Air Force Base, Delaware. His staff experience includes a tour at the Directorate of Personnel, Headquarters Air Education and Training Command. Lieutenant Colonel Mosley has deployed in support of numerous contingency and combat operations in Southwest Asia and the Middle East.

Arnold R. Mosley’s Retirement stands apart as it was met with a host of unique challenges. The coronavirus has created a new normal. Social distancing, universal masks, and restriction of movement could hamper any occasion. Although necessary to slow the spread of COVID-19, these measures notably could negatively impact the levity and joy felt during a retirement ceremony. However, this was not the case during the Mosley Retirement Ceremony. Batts Media worked hand and hand with the Mosley’s to ensure all of the aforementioned safety measures were exceeded. Despite meeting these requirements, the spirit of service, selflessness, and sacrifice were observed during the entire event.

Tucker Retirement Ceremony | San Antonio Event Photography

By | Blogs, Event Photography, Photography, San Antonio, Texas

Tucker Retirement Ceremony Project Overview:

Military retirement is an all important step in the lives of a military member. After serving ones country in both times of peace and war, all service members must reach a point when they must decide to transition from a life that has become all too familiar. This shoot represents a culmination of emotions, ranging from both gratitude to relief and finally accomplishment, from the honor of serving ones country.

Lt Col Andre V. Tucker served his country for 24 years as a commissioned officer. In this capacity, he ascended to the position of Deputy Chief Financial Officer of the US Army North. Despite his extensive business background, he saw combat with the 4th and 2nd Infantry as well as serving as company commander of one of the most decorated Army divisions our country has ever seen, the 82nd Airborne Division. He service has taken him to Korea, Kosovo and the Middle East, where his work was central to the success of these missions.

The mood during the event was mixed. It varied in maintaining the military customs and courtesies required to fulfill the grandeur of such an awe-inspiring moment to a more colloquial, welcoming time for friends and family to meet. All who attended recognized and appreciated the service and sacrifice that Lt Col Tucker made to his country. However, no somber commentary overshadowed the joy expressed by his loved ones on his progression and evolution into civilian life.

It is seldom that a civilian gets the opportunity to witness many of the procedures seen in the military. Unless one is closely affiliated or a military member themselves, this mysteries are often uncovered and exist only in the heart and minds of those who attend.
