SrA Daniel Hancock

SrA Daniel Hancock Assistant Dedicated Crew a Chief, 5th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron From Goreville, IL "Three years ago I never would have thought that I'd be working on something of such importance and with some of the most powerful weapons mankind has ever created. Being a part of a mission that continuously deters our enemies and assures our allies safety, is nothing short of amazing. It's unbelievable how our actions here in Minot can make such a big difference across the globe. Every time I see these BUFFs (B-52, Big Ugly Fat Fellows) take off, I really do fight off the goosebumps."
