Master Sergeant Michael Lock from the 440th Airlift Wing’s 53rd Aerial Port Squadron fills out paperwork during a deployment readiness exercise at Pope Air Force Base, N.C., October 3, 2009. Over the years MSgt Lock has become a pro at processing through the deployment line. He has deployed approximately 10 times since 2001. He explained that these exercises are important because it allows the experienced airmen to provide guidance and input for future exercises, as well as allowing the inexperienced airmen the opportunity to prepare for the possibility of actually processing a real deployment line. There is so much to prepare for when deploying so knowing the pre deployment process is extremely important! (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Jacqueline Pender)
