Ever think a person with Tourette syndrome could become an Air Force explosive ordnance technician? If you answered no, you haven’t met Lt. Col. Kelly Hannum, whose favorite job in the Air Force involves situations where one wrong move can mean instant death.

“I loved EOD and the opportunity of being around amazing, like minded people that loved solving problems,” Hannum said in a profile of him written by Staff Sgt. Greg Nash on Monday. “There’s a thrill of figuring out how to safeguard and remove hazards from dangerous areas. Whether by blowing up threats or securing them to move out of harm’s way, finding out the right way to save lives and protect assets was a rewarding adrenaline rush.”
