A day on the job with the 421st Quartermaster Company riggers
SOUTHWEST ASIA - Army Spc. Neilon Burton, 421st Quartermaster Company Detachment 4 Airdrop specialist, tosses Sgt. Jack Arnold, 421st QM Det. 4 shop foreman, a case of bottled water to stack on top of a bundle Dec. 4. The team essentially plays a game of Tetris with items being bundled to ensure they meet specific weight and size requirements before they can be loaded onto an aircraft and dropped to ground troops in Afghanistan. The detachment has airdropped more than 7,400 bundles, weighing more than 12 million pounds since the beginning of 2012. Burton, a native of the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Arnold, a native of Warner Robins, Ga., are both deployed from Fort Valley, Ga. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Bryan Swink)
