00:03.940 --> 00:07.650
Their motto is without em ,

00:07.650 --> 00:09.817
Oh we're just another airline . Senior

00:09.817 --> 00:11.983
and Richard Gonzales takes us inside a

00:11.983 --> 00:14.206
hangar where Ammo Airman ready the A 10

00:14.206 --> 00:16.190
for close air support . The animal

00:16.190 --> 00:18.301
troops from the 81st fighter squadron

00:18.301 --> 00:20.412
may seem more like a towing service ,

00:20.412 --> 00:22.590
but it's part of their job , side by

00:22.590 --> 00:25.290
side with the munitions every step . So

00:25.290 --> 00:27.540
it's loaded onto the aircraft . Make

00:27.540 --> 00:29.484
sure the jets running good for the

00:29.484 --> 00:31.651
weapons loading all the munitions that

00:31.651 --> 00:33.707
we need for the mission that day for

00:33.707 --> 00:35.929
not loading . We're doing maintenance ,

00:35.929 --> 00:38.151
making sure everything works properly ,

00:38.151 --> 00:40.262
fixing gun systems , fixing racks who

00:40.262 --> 00:42.484
are registering the other Ammo troops .

00:42.484 --> 00:44.540
This is just practice until the next

00:44.540 --> 00:46.540
deployment . Last time these airmen

00:46.540 --> 00:48.540
went down range , they dropped more

00:48.540 --> 00:50.540
munitions than in any previous four

00:50.540 --> 00:52.762
months . A f I know it's making a great

00:52.762 --> 00:54.600
difference for the ground forces

00:54.610 --> 00:56.888
because they know we're ground support .

00:56.888 --> 00:59.166
So we helped them out a lot down there .
