Rank and Name: Sergeant First Class Joshua D. Hall Unit and Duty Title: Intelligence and Knowledge Development, Counterintelligence Operations and Activities Coordinator Hometown: Grand Rapids, MI Profile: SFC Hall works in the Counterintelligence and Human Intelligence Division where he coordinates operations with the various U.S. Africa Command service components. He is married with two children and is a photography enthusiast who recently won first place in the Digital Darkroom category of the U.S. Army Garrison photo contest and third place in the Military Life category. Quote: "The best photographs simply happen. There is a moment when you see something that catches your eye. You frame it, you capture it, and you know intuitively there is something special about it. It all happens nearly instantaneously. There is no thought to it. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it is a euphoric, satisfying feeling."
