Citizen Airmen thank employers for support Published Aug. 27, 2010 By 349th Air Mobility Wing Public Affairs TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- Sixty Northern California employers of 349th Air Mobility Wing Airmen were treated to a day honoring them Aug. 21. "Deploy your Employer" gave reservists an opportunity to subject their employers to the joys of the mobility processing line, the wear of chemical warfare gear, helmets and flak jackets, and a delicious meals-ready-to-eat lunch. The employers viewed a field hospital complete with "patients" and were able to see the view through the turret of a Humvee while handling the weapons used by 349th Security Forces Squadron Airmen. The day culminated with a flight aboard a C-17 Globemaster and a KC-10 Extender where employers enjoyed the view down the coast from Mendocino to Monterey, the Sierras, Mammoth Lakes, Yosemite and Lake Tahoe, as well as a refueling mission. Reservists and representatives from the California Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve turned out in force to show their appreciation of these employers whose support has a profound impact on the 349th AMW's ability to meet recruiting and retention goals.
