Operation Enduring Freedom

Afghanistan National Army Air Corps Master Sgt. Sheer Aqa Karimi, a C-27A Spartan loadmaster, and Master Sgt. Chris Ringland, 438th Air Expeditionary Advisory Group standards and evaluation loadmaster, socialize prior to take-off for a check ride for Sergeant Karimi, March 28, 2010, at Kabul International Airport, Afghanistan. "Sheer Aqa is one of the brightest and energetic students we have," said Sergeant Ringland, who is deployed from the 6th SOSS at Hurlburt Field. "He did a great job today and I would be proud to fly with him anywhere in the world." Admitting he was a bit nervous, Sergeant Karimi, was pleased at the success of the mission and is happy to be his country's first qualified C-27 loadmaster. (U.S. Air Force/ Staff Sgt. Manuel J. Martinez/released)
