00:06.940 --> 00:09.160
Alright my name is James . I'm strong

00:10.740 --> 00:13.950
staff sergeant Little master .

00:15.540 --> 00:19.440
What is the role the load master during

00:19.450 --> 00:23.430
an airdrop . Um The role of a low

00:23.430 --> 00:26.680
master on an air job is uh Basically

00:26.680 --> 00:29.560
1st to just configure the aircraft . Um

00:30.740 --> 00:34.150
you from setting up static lines

00:34.640 --> 00:38.480
the BSA flippant rollers making sure

00:38.480 --> 00:40.730
everything is configured properly . Uh

00:40.740 --> 00:43.530
Further airdrop that's the big biggest

00:43.530 --> 00:47.400
part start the part that takes the most

00:47.400 --> 00:51.400
time . Um Once we actually are in the

00:51.400 --> 00:54.250
air originally doing the airdrop

00:55.140 --> 00:57.480
that's the easy part . Run our check

00:57.480 --> 01:01.020
with no once the once the load is

01:01.020 --> 01:04.260
out they look clear . Yeah

01:08.940 --> 01:10.850
with airdrop

01:12.740 --> 01:16.690
uh C 17 is very effective doing an

01:16.690 --> 01:20.000
airdrop for example today

01:20.840 --> 01:23.750
we are drop 40 bundles

01:24.540 --> 01:28.060

01:28.640 --> 01:32.560
Um and everything was on sentiment drop

01:33.040 --> 01:36.550

01:37.140 --> 01:41.000
Job make them fuel to M . R . E . S

01:41.010 --> 01:44.550
to order other other types

01:45.440 --> 01:48.570
uh for those guys on the ground . I

01:48.580 --> 01:52.150
need him . I think we're

01:52.940 --> 01:55.107
we're helping those guys on the ground

01:55.107 --> 01:57.880
and live , we're dropping like I say

01:57.880 --> 02:00.820
fuel to food and water . Those guys

02:00.820 --> 02:02.931
really need to get on the ground . Uh

02:02.931 --> 02:05.600
huh That's a billing to actually

02:06.840 --> 02:09.560
be there won't be helping doing that .

02:13.340 --> 02:16.550
What type of cargo can 17 airdrop ?

02:18.040 --> 02:22.030
Uh C 17 can air dry . Uh huh . Type of

02:22.030 --> 02:25.160
card from Cbs . Heavy

02:25.740 --> 02:28.570

02:28.570 --> 02:31.950
here in theater is Cbs . Uh huh

02:32.540 --> 02:35.200
And what the c . 17 has capabilities of

02:35.200 --> 02:38.850
dropping heavy . Uh as far as

02:38.850 --> 02:42.850
like humpty uh different

02:42.850 --> 02:45.320
types of vehicles . What the warfighter

02:45.320 --> 02:47.550
actually needs on the ground where they

02:47.550 --> 02:50.620
see 17 newspaper . Uh huh delivering

02:50.620 --> 02:52.660
those via airdrop

02:54.740 --> 02:56.962
for the viewers that don't know what is

02:56.962 --> 03:00.650
Syria C . D . S . Their delivery

03:01.340 --> 03:04.520
but me and put of what happened during

03:04.530 --> 03:07.530
today's air job start blood master

03:07.530 --> 03:09.863
comes home and run our cyclist . Uh huh .

03:10.440 --> 03:14.170
We have bigger the aircraft would take

03:14.170 --> 03:17.760
the most I would say it's approximately

03:17.760 --> 03:19.649
hour to an hour and a half to get

03:19.649 --> 03:21.790
everything configured . Once we get

03:21.790 --> 03:25.750
everything figured and ready to go um

03:26.140 --> 03:29.950
get all the the final a time . Right

03:30.340 --> 03:32.451
it's about all the bundles that we're

03:32.451 --> 03:35.980
going to drive . Uh huh . At that point

03:36.740 --> 03:39.640
we get everything inspected by J . Huh

03:40.140 --> 03:43.240
and 1 3 in the air . Uh huh .

03:44.940 --> 03:47.051
That that's the easy part for the Low

03:47.051 --> 03:50.260
Masters . We run our checklist drop

03:50.940 --> 03:54.350
and everything goes out probably £5 .

03:54.840 --> 03:58.160
Yeah . Once a green light come from

04:00.240 --> 04:02.296
how long do you how much time do you

04:02.296 --> 04:04.462
think you're saving them as a close to

04:04.462 --> 04:06.770
running convoys ? You know from one

04:06.770 --> 04:08.826
father to another ? How much time do

04:08.826 --> 04:10.937
you think you're saving those guys on

04:10.937 --> 04:13.520
the ground ? I don't know exact numbers

04:13.520 --> 04:15.870
as far as how much time we're saving

04:15.870 --> 04:19.680
them . But um I would imagine that

04:19.680 --> 04:21.736
there's those guys on the ground are

04:21.736 --> 04:24.760
happy not to have on convoys

04:26.240 --> 04:28.380
and things like that and that we're

04:28.380 --> 04:30.491
getting in stopped off quick and on .

04:30.640 --> 04:30.840
Yeah
