Tech. Sgt. Joyce Osornio-Magaña, 944th Fighter Wing weapons load technician, wires the guidance section of a GBU-12 Paveway II laser-guided bomb March 25, 2021, at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona. Osornio-Magaña participated in the Women of Weapons Exhibition Load, which involved loading a GBU-12 and an AIM-120 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile on an F-35A Lightning II. This load was the AMU’s way of highlighting the capabilities of female Airmen for Women’s History Month. Diversity allows the Air Force to capitalize on all available talent by enabling a culture of inclusion.
