Thanks to John “JC” Chun for emailing this photograph to Retiree News. John was visiting the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) office in the Tripler Army Medical Center. Across the hall in “E” Wing is the State Office of Veterans Service (OVS). JC ran into Ronald Han, the Director of the Office of Veterans Service.

When he retired from the Hawaii Air National Guard (HIANG), Ron was the commander of the 154th Maintenance Group. Coming out the of the Air Force, He joined the HIANG, serving in the 154th Logistics Readiness Squadron. He later moved to the maintenance side of the group before serving as group commander. After retiring, he was named the OVS Director by Governor Neil Abercrombie. He was recently reappointed by Governor David Ige.

JC started in the engine shop and served there for many years. With the integration of computers in the maintenance process, he becomes more involved with engine tracking and analysis.
