TEXAS – Lackland Cadet Squadron members' recent tour of the 344th Training Squadron’s Enlisted Aviator Center of Excellence at Lackland Air Force Base came complete with a briefing from one of their own.
U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Mike Senigo, who holds the Civil Air Patrol rank of senior member in the Lackland squadron, told the visiting cadets and officers about enlisted aircrew positions, jet engine operation and turbo prop engine operation. They also watched a video on the Air Force Special Operations Command.
The Lackland members toured a C-130 Hercules, MH-53 Pavelow and C-20 DV Airlifter, as well as the aerial gunner classroom.
They also heard presentations on .50-caliber machine guns, 7.62 mm miniguns and 40 mm Bofors cannon, and they saw parts and rounds from a 25 mm Gatling gun and 105 mm Howitzer cannon.
