I was a air cargo specialist at Dove Air Force base in the early 80s. We uploaded and downloaded C5 ,C141,KC10, C130 and 747 civilian cargo aircraft. The C17 wasnt built yet. I loved being on the flightline and being in the Air Force in general. I got out after 4 years and that was the biggest mistake i made in my life. But it was a great experience being part of the greatest Air Force on earth

I was an Instructor Loadmaster for 22 years. Flew on various models of the C-130 and C-141. This is a pretty good video of life as a Loadmaster. Many thanks for the memories.

[@Watermelon43564]

Too bad most of the video is actually what Port Dawgs do 😂

[@10hunterLab]

@I speak for the metal 🤘🏽 I spent most my career as a Loadmaster in the Mobile Aerial Ports and Aerial Delivery. I deployed doing air freight stuff as much as the freight guys did. Learned what it took to get cargo behind the aircraft. Most aircrew have no idea the obstacles.

[@russellhorn7437]

This is how it hopefully is done today. During the sixties, and in Vietnam it was a whole different game.

[@edwardproctor3619]

Where were you flying out of in Nam we were usually in Camron ot Tuehoa. ( Sp?)

[@AussieVet]

BP system and hard work lol

[@RockyMtnBlue]

Much respect for these valuable members of our armed forces.

[@edwardproctor3619]

I was loadmaster on C130. Excellent experience. Good video but they left out much of the job and training.

[@10hunterLab]

Boy did they!!

[@edwardproctor3619]

@@10hunterLab good to hear. I was on C124 then 130E in Nam for 15 months then 130A for 6 months. 141 came to Machord when I was there but I missed out. Did love the 130E tho

[@10hunterLab]

@Edward proctor Flew from 1976 to 1998. Dyess, Rhein Main, Dyess, RAF Mildenhall, Norton, Hurlburt Field, and Kirtland. More tdys than I can count and over 112 countries visited. Worked with great LM's over the years, Gerry Gutierrez, Frank Martindale, and Larry Hill among the many. Great career, miss it a lot. Take care.

@@10hunterLab great service, you're a living LEGEND. Thank you for your service. Wish I could hear you talking about your services. Salute 👮.

[@user-ti1mz6hn1f]

Do you need to take a lie detector test for this mos? My recruiter said something with intel jobs requiring it. Obviously this isn’t an intel job, but does it require it? Heard those can give faulty results.

I'm flight manager and load master on Antonov Aircraft. I have a passion for any aircraft special Cargo Aircraft Military. Moreover, I do speak 10 different languages, and I am looking forward to EU or Canada 🇨🇦 colonel Jamal Baluchi from Bahrain 🇧🇭

Worked with USAF and ANG loadmasters, some of the smartest people in the military, respect.

Our military does such cool stuff.

Damn, those parachute landings look rough AF! I'm starting to understand why my buddy wound up pissing blood and another jumper getting his groin sliced open.

Hello to all What is the biggest plane? The Galaxy or the Beluga from airbus 👋🇨🇵🤔🛩

[@speedracer2336]

Transporting supplies, equipment and troops worldwide!

[@VAMobMember]

Why did we stop doing LAPES drops? We did them during Nam as I have seen many video clips and even movie sciences of them,

[@10hunterLab]

I was a LAPES qualified Instructor Loadmaster. We stopped doing them for a few reasons. This mission was deemed to be too expensive, dangerous, and more importantly due to the change in tactical doctrine and force employment methods.

[@alekboi4016]

yeah ok this might not be for me, i wanted to sit on the back of a plane and sometimes guide a hummer in, this might be few to many brains for me. will stick to infantry

[@russellaucoin3561]

It's not that difficult. High school math and physics does help. The job just takes lots of common sense. You should go for it. You will never regret it.

[@esmeraldaestrada2549]

infantry is worse😭

Me fix plane, you put groceries in back.

Put groceries in back, me eat. Ooo ooo.

what if the parachute fails and hits a person

[@esoxisaac4870]

Idiots don't pack parachutes

[@vincentrisalvato9921]

UR F#%KED....

[@michaelmichaels-tw7wd]

given the size & speed it is likely to be fatal & would be a tragedy. they would make sure they don't drop on top of people or buildings or vehicles

[@10hunterLab]

Rarely does that happen. But it has and will. I've seen it twice. Both were fatalities.

[@420]

You send me a way to contact you and I'll send you a pic of what a recent exercise did to someone. I can't believe some of the things I've heard and seen that happen to paratroopers.
