Andre Menard, 917th Operations Support Flight, aircrew flight equipment technician, assists Cadet Stephen Vrabic, in the life support egress trainer at the 47th Fighter Squadron at Barksdale Air Force Base, La., June 15, 2009. Cadet Vrabic, who is from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., is involved in a summer program called Operations Air Force, where cadets are “randomly chosen to integrate into Air Force bases” around the world.” One of the goals of the program is for the cadets to experience the Total Force Integration. Cadet Vrabic and his classmates also visited the 93rd Bomb Squadron where they were briefed on similar activities concerning the B-52 Stratofortress. Cadet Vrabic is part of the Class of 2011 at the U.S. Air Force Academy. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Jeff Walston)
