WHITEMAN AIR FORCE BASE, Mo. – Air Force Reserve Senior Airman Bernie Conrad, 442nd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, hands his personnel readiness folder to Charlynne Rojas, a civilian contractor with Whiteman's 509th Mission Support Squadron, for review as he works his way through the various stations of the base's deployment processing center. Airman Conrad and nearly 300 fellow reservists helped flex the 442nd Fighter Wing's deployment muscles during an exercise, Jan. 5-7, 2007, which focused on the Air Force Reserve Command unit's readiness to deploy in support of wartime taskings.
