Richard Gray 20th Logistics Readiness Squadron, into a fire suit during "Operation Take-Flight", which is a simulated deployment to the fictional country Shawkikistan Sept. 17. Children, ages 4 through 12, got to experience what mom and dad go through when deploying which gives them a better understanding of the deployment process and helps relieve anxiety.
