1st Sgt. Keith S. Butterfield, first sergeant, Headquarters and Support Company, 7th Engineer Support Battalion, 22nd Naval Construction Regiment, skateboards on the platform he set up behind his office in Camp Taqaddum, Iraq. Butterfield has travelled far and experienced a lot since his early days as a professional freestyle skateboarder in Santa Cruz, Calif. He has now picked up the sport again and training to get back to the level he was at during the 80?s. ?In the past nine months, I have done more skateboarding than I did as a professional in the 80?s,? said the 42-year-old.
