Myelie Bailey and her husband, Staff Sgt. Austin Bailey, take down their masks to get a good look at each other Sunday following Austin’s return from a six-month deployment to Al Dhafra Air Base, United Arab Emirates. The couple has been married three years and this was their first deployment. “It’s been really hard communicating and staying in touch with the time difference,” Myelie said. “We definitely have a lot to catch up on and I’m so glad he’s home.” Austin is an avionics mechanic in the 419th Fighter Wing and is working toward his commercial pilot license in the civilian sector.
