Texas Army National Guard Sgt.
* Martin Bullington traded his military
uniform for a blue work shirt last
month when he returned to his job at
Ainsworth & Co. Air Conditioning and
Afghanistan. .
Bullington worked for a year as an
installer for the company when he
received orders in March 2005 to ^=7
report first to Fort Hood and then tc
Afghanistan. He said his concerns
ranged from leaving behind his wife
Kasi and sons Trenton and Chadwick
to where he would be stationed, but he A
didn’t have to worry about finding ’
employment when his tour of dutyFwas
done.
