[QUOTE="raustin0017, post: 16096018, member: 145559"] In 2008 was assigned to the 17th Airlift Squadron, Charleston Air Force Base, SC. Was the Chief Loadmaster and had the honor of serving with some incredible dedicated Airmen. One of the 54 Loadmasters was a young Airman First Class (E-3) and stood well above his peers in all areas.

After coordinating with the Security Forces our plan was set in action.
