[@lockheedload]

8 years as a C-5 Loadmaster. What an amazing life.

[@herkload]

Hell yeah brother, C130 load here 😎

[@creigiihtondenynis39]

Thanks for your service!!! Now pass me that form F so I can do DATA!

lmao such a simple comment is kinda motivating me

[@lockheedload]

@@davidwells5888happy to chat about it my friend. But it’s an experience that I don’t think you’ll ever find anywhere else. It’s over the top levels of craziness that’s difficult to even imagine.

[@casspurrwaspurr4716]

I love the role of Loadmasters. I'm hoping in the near future I will be one. But for my countries airforce (NZ). Although we don't typically work on planes, our squadrons use helicopters instead. Agusta 109 light utility helicopters & NH90 helicopters.

Hi how are you? I really like US Airforce. Alot of Respect

[@hacker4chan180]

Update?

[@Slava_Yarmolenko]

@@estevanfrias6677 well man, loadmasters don't push pallets (C-5 loads do sometimes cuz there are a lot of them in one plane), they do spotting k-loaders often, but most of it is paperwork. As 2T2 we hate when loads overshadow our career field. That is kind of disappointing when you build that pallet, do everything up to positioning it in the plane. Just keep in mind, that if you wanna do real cargo ops, come to 2T2, we are doing a lot of it.

If your dropping stuff over a war zone would you be afraid of getting shot at by missiles or enemies

[@hobogrifter]

Ideally you SHOULDNT be afraid of getting shot at.

I wish someone replied to this because I feel the exact same. I'm considering this role for my country's Airforce so its a bit different, but I too hate maths and it isn't my strong point. But I love every other aspect of this role. did you end up taking this job? if so did you like it?
