As part of an "Amazing Race" style event, 20 U.S Air Force Academy and Reserve Officers' Training Corps cadets visited Heritage Park June 15, 2015 at Joint Base Charleston, S.C., where Stan Gohl, the 437th Airlift Wing historian briefed the group on the history of the 437th AW and the three static jets that reside in the air park. The cadets also visited Combat Arms Training and Maintenance where they handled weapons ranging from the M-9 pistol to a .50 Cal Sniper Rifle; Outdoor Recreation where they climbed a rock wall, challenging themselves to use team work to ensure everyone made it to the top. Lastly they ended the day with a friendly volleyball competition. During each stop, the Airman's Creed was incorporated into the visit and what the creed means to the enlisted personnel. The cadets are visiting JB Charleston as part of Operation Air Force, which exposes them to a real-world Air Force environment and provides them the opportunity to see how base components work together to meet the mission. This is the first of three groups scheduled to visit the base. (U.S. Air Force photo / Capt. Brian Walker)
