Mobbo I deal with loadmasters everyday.. I don't know exactly what their job entails, but I have a decent idea. As a load master (depending on the airframe) you will fly low level. There are generally C17s, C130s (which I am on), and C141s which are pretty much dying or dead. If you are prone to motion sickness it will be hard to adjust to because low level flight is rough. Depending on the type of load for the airdrop (container delivery system, heavy equipment, training bundle, or troopers) you have to show up a certain amount of time before the mission starts (typically 1-4 hours), then fly a 4-6 hour mission. They are long days... you fly about 3 times a week, and those days work out to be 12-14 hour days at least. Your training would be here at Little Rock AFB, and I would suggest calling here and talking to someone about what the training entails.
