Staff Sgt. John Pittman, 774th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron loadmaster, prepares a C-130J Hercules for takeoff from Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan Nov. 10, 2016. The C-130J’s versatility allows loadmasters like Pittman to reconfigure its cargo space to handle outsized and non-standard cargo, as well as large numbers of personnel and paratroopers, depending on the required mission set.
