Winkler, aviation ordnance technicians with Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 169, load ammunition onto an AH-1W Cobra at a new forward arming refueling point at Combat Outpost Ouellette in Afghanistan’s Helmand province, April 17. “I love my job; you can’t do what I do anywhere else,” said Odhner, a native of Philadelphia. The forward arming refueling point was recently constructed at the combat outpost to enable 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward) to better support Marines and other coalition troops operating near Sangin, Afghanistan.
