Lance Cpl. Charles Schneider walks towards a pair of Marine Corps KC-130J Hercules on the flight line aboard the Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, N.C., Oct. 18, 2016. Schneider has just recently completed his initial training to become a crew master with Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 252, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing. “I’ve always been pretty mechanically inclined.” said Schneider. “I wanted to try something that very few people take advantage of. I’ve always loved airplanes, so I figured it would be really cool to work on them in the Marine Corps.” (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Mackenzie Gibson/Released)
