My tech school was at Chanute AFB, IL. My AFSC was 631X0. I was stationed at Dyess then Ramstein. I drove R-5, R-9 and R-8 hose truck. Spent a lot of time sitting on hose carts putting 210,000 lbs on B-52s at Dyess

I was at Chanute for POL too in the late 70;s.

Truck was not chocked prior to grounding, Is that a new procedure?

[@struckbyasyclone9284]

Looks like someone's gotta drag a chock around with them at the shop for the next 2 weeks lol

That was the ground crewman who marshalled in the driver, who was pulling the ground cables. The driver was still in the cab and had not gotten out yet. Then later you see the truck is chalked. They both look similar. When the single point nozzle is hooked up, you can see them both in view.
