The Rise of a Loadmaster: An A1C Watt Story

Master Sgt. Andrew Reilly, 4th Airlift Squadron loadmaster, observes Airman 1st Class Kam Watt, 4th Airlift Squadron loadmaster, attach and tighten an additional strap onto a piece of cargo aboard a C-17 Globemaster III before taking off from Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, Dec. 18, 2019. The metal piece at the end of an existing strap had started to deteriorate, so as an added security measure the loadmasters attached one of their straps.
