Grissom personnel 'turkey trot' Published Nov. 17, 2010 By Tech. Sgt. Mark R. W. Orders-Woempner 434th ARW Public Affairs GRISSOM AIR RESEVE BASE, Ind. -- Grissom personnel took part in a 5-kilometer "Turkey Trot" run held at the fitness center here Nov. 17. Participants guessed how long it would take them to finish the race prior to starting the run. The top three runners whose guesses were closest to their actual run time received a turkey. While Chris Feltis finished the race the fastest with a time of 21 minutes, 58 seconds it was Raymond McNitt, Rich Percival and Juan Hernandez who came in closest to their predicted times. McNitt was the closest of all as he came in only 4 seconds off from his predicted time. When asked how he was able to come in so close to his time, McNitt answered, "You just have to be good." Participants included Air Force Reserve, Marine Corps Reserve, civilian and contractor personnel. Grissom is home to the 434th Air Refueling Wing, which is the largest KC-135R Stratotanker unit in the Air Force Reserve Command.
