Air Force Reserve Command’s 403rd Wing at Keesler AFB, Miss., now has all eight of its new C-130J-30 airlifters, with the arrival last week of the final stretch version. The wing also has 10 WC-130Js, specially modified Hercules to conduct weather operations. The 403rd began converting to the newest Herk in October 1999.
Air Force Basic Military Training leaders say changes implemented as part of BMT 2.0 are generating positive results so far—especially when it comes to creating “airminded” new Airmen.
