Airmen Compete in FARP Team Tryouts
Senior Airman Tyler Sparks, left, 23d Logistics Readiness Squadron fuels distribution operator, and Staff Sgt. William Smith, 23d LRS fuels service center supervisor, roll up a fuel hose during the Forward Area Refueling Point 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.
