First of all it was an experience, second of all we needed to get our plane done. I volunteered to come out here, mostly to me, this experience is about a different setting and ambiance. I enjoy it out here, I really do, I like Wyoming. People are extremely nice. - Alexis Castro 156th Airlift Wing, Puerto Rico Air National Guard
