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

SOUTHWEST ASIA - Army Spc. Tammy Bradley, 421st Quartermaster Company Detachment 4 supply specialist, uses a handsaw to cut through layers of honeycomb cardboard Dec. 4. The honeycomb is cut to exact measurements and placed at the base of the load, which will be airdropped to support ground troops in Afghanistan. Honeycomb acts as a buffer to absorb the impact after the load is falling between 28 and 49 feet per second when it hits the ground. Bradley, a native of Valdosta, Ga., is deployed from Fort Valley, Ga. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Bryan Swink)
