Sgt. Christopher A. Savoie, a KC-130J loadmaster with Marine Aerial Refueling Transport Squadron 252, and a native of Opelousas, La., performs ground observation duties on a KC-130J during its launch from Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan, and handles a controller that operates flares that shoot from the aircraft if it is attacked. "We perform observer duties while the plane is flying below 10,000 feet," said Savoie. "That means we watch the ground and alert the pilots if we see anything bad."
