New deployment posture adopted at Whiteman: Team youth support Operation Spirit
WHITEMAN AIR FORCE BASE, Mo. - Young "Airmen" stand at attention April 18 as Chief Master Sgt. Brian Hornback, 509th Bomb Wing command chief, teaches them how to stand at attention for the arrival of the base commander during Operation Spirit. Operation Spirit is a simulated deployment line for school-aged kids that allows children to experience what their military parents go through during a deployment. The "Airmen" were accompanied by their parents and received goodies form several base agencies. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Jason Barebo)
