A day on the job with the 421st Quartermaster Company riggers

SOUTHWEST ASIA - Army Spc. Victor Waters, 421st Quartermaster Company Detachment 4 airdrop specialist, uses a power saw to cut through layers of plywood to make the base of the load Dec. 4. The plywood is used as a stabilizer to distribute the weight of the load evenly upon impact. Each load weighs between 1,200 and 1,800 pounds, so proper distribution of the weight upon impact is vital to preserving the contents of the load. Waters, a native of Warner Robins, Ga., is deployed from Fort Valley, Ga. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Bryan Swink)
