Thirteen members of the 434th Security Forces Squadron got hands-on weapons training from one of their own during a recent unit training assembly.

Senior Master Sgt. Rickie King, 434th SFS operations superintendant, has trained foreign security forces and brought that experience back to Grissom.

Unit members trained on reloading, changing weapons and aiming with the proper technique and form, while demonstrating the ability to advance on suspicious individuals.

The training will help them should they be called upon to deploy in the future.

King will expand training for members during upcoming UTAs.

The 434th ARW is the largest KC-135R Stratotanker unit in the Air Force Reserve Command.
