Airman To Honor Friends w/Hike
Tech. Sgt. Stacy Trosine is on the journey of a lifetime. The Fairchild Air Force Base airman is hiking 710 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail, 
much of it alone, in honor of three soldiers she served with in Afghanistan. She started the trek on Aug. 8. Trosine has been deployed seven times in her 18-year military career, including three stints in Afghanistan, but her most recent deployment affected her profoundly. I was embedded with the 466th EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) last year. I was deployed with the most amazing group of men,” she said during an interview before she left on her hike. “On one of the missions, three of our guys got blown up during an ambush.” She paused and cleared her throat. “It was hard to deal with”/Cindy Hval, SR.
