Name: Jeff Odom Rank when retired/separated: senior airman Age: 35 Hometown: Tucson, Ariz. Current residence: San Diego, Calif. Years in service: 4 Injury/disability: Spinal cord injury with impairment to both arms and hands Sport/sports: Cycling, track and field and wheelchair basketball What do the Warrior Games mean to you? This is my first opportunity to participate in the Warrior Games. It’s a great opportunity to build up the Air Force team and mentor people. There are a lot of other athletes who can learn how to use the chair, and I can use my background to help teach them.

This is my first opportunity to participate in the Warrior Games. It’s a great opportunity to build up the Air Force team and mentor people. There are a lot of other athletes who can learn how to use the chair, and I can use my background to help teach them. What motivated you to try out for the Air Force Warrior Games team? It’s another opportunity to try a sport I’ve never done (track and field), and I’ve barely done cycling. I’ve mostly been a full-time rugby athlete. ( Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Bennie J.
