Barksdale’s Honor Guard mascot, Captain the Cat, naps in a chair at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., Oct. 5, 2017. Captain goes home with the NCO-in-charge, Tech Sgt. Brandon Henry, on the weekends and stays at Hoban Hall during the week. When guardsmen return from details late at night, she is the only one there to welcome them back.
