Lt. Col. Dwain Slaughter, 28th Maintenance Squadron commander, mentors Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps cadets as part of Operation Air Force here, June 11. Operation Air Force is a three-week program designed to provide cadets the opportunity to experience firsthand the day-to-day operations of an Air Force base. Cadets are immersed into the Air Force way of life through the use of tours, hands-on experience and shadowing Air Force personnel in a variety of career fields.
