Airmen Compete in FARP Team Tryouts
Chief Master Sgt. Jimmy Wilfong, left, 23d Wing command chief, and Technical Sgt. Matthew Forehand, 23d Logistics Readiness Squadron Forward Area Refueling Point team chief, attach a squeegee to a fuel hose during the FARP team tryouts Oct. 15, 2020, at Moody Air Force Base, Georgia. Airmen with the 23d LRS Petroleum, Oils and Lubricants flight must meet unique physical and mental demands of rapidly refueling military aircraft. The hands-on portion of their tryouts consisted of dragging a 300-foot hose, pulling a specialized squeegee down the entire length of the hose and rolling up the hose to carry it back.
