Airman helps deliver daughter, deploys same day

Airman 1st Class Timothy Pledger, 20th Aircraft Maintenance Unit electronic warfare journeyman, poses for a photo on Barksdale Air Force Base, La., Aug. 30, 2013. Pledger was supposed to deploy to Anderson Air Force Base, Guam, early in the morning, but an aircraft malfunction delayed the departure. While spending what little time he had left with his wife, her water broke. Unable to wait for an ambulance, Pledger successfully delivered his daughter while listening to directions over the phone from emergency personnel.
