Air Force Airman 1st Class Tyler Benner, left, 86th Vehicle Readiness Squadron vehicle operator and Airman 1st Class Jeremy Evans, right, 86th VRS ground transportation operator, secure a shipping container at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, Nov. 30, 2022. Benner says he takes nothing for granted anymore, after surviving a rare medical condition that left him in the hospital for months. Aggregatibacter aphrophilus, a common bacteria residing in the mouth, caused his blood to become septic and resulted in the growth of a baseball-sized abscess in his liver.
