Senior Airman Eric Arrington and Senior Airman Keli Manglona go over a pre-load checklist on an AIM-9 air-to-air missile during a weapons load competition Jan. 7, 2011, at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev. Weapons load competitions are conducted quarterly to keep Airmen sharp and recognize superior performers. Weapons load teams are evaluated for their use of the checklist, safety and overall speed. Both Airmen are assigned to the 57th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron as aircraft armament systems journeymen. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech Sgt. Michael R. Holzworth)
