Senior Airman Justin Emerson and Senior Airman Micah Hazelip, 60th Aerial Port Squadron aerial porters deployed from Travis Air Force Base, Calif., hang up cargo nets at the passenger terminal at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, on April 12, 2011. After an airplane full of Soldiers and their baggage have been moved through the terminal, the cargo nets that once held the baggage to the pallets must be stored properly to keep them out of the way, and from getting tangled up.
