Lance Cpl. Shawn M. Spurlock, an ordnance technician with the F-35B Lightning II detachment of Medium Marine Tiltrotor Squadron 262 (Reinforced), secures a Captive Air Training Missile -9X Sidewinder to an F-35B fighter atop the flight deck aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp (LHD 1), Philippine Sea, Jan. 28, 2019. Spurlock, a native of New Freedom, Pennsylvania, graduated from Susquehannock High School in June 2017 before enlisting later that month.
