MARINE CORPS AIR STATION IWAKUNI, Japan - A UC-12W Huron takes off from Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, July 26, 2017. The routine training flight helped U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Roos, originally a food service specialist with Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron (H&HS), finish his mandatory 50 hours of flight time to become a fixed-wing transport aircraft specialist. He had to answer codes, or questions regarding the aircraft, emergency procedures and NATOPS, on top of his 50 hours of flight time. He went to Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida for swimming qualifications where he experienced a helicopter dunk tank. He was also exposed to a hypoxia situation, where he tested how his body and brain would react while undergoing oxygen deprivation. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Gabriela Garcia-Herrera)
