I hope everyone survived. As a retired C-130 loadmaster who flew on 77 combat missions while based at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan I will be following this.

Thank you for your service. Some of my best friends are load masters who are still on the Blue Angel team or have been deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan. Prayers for all of our heroes.
